The Welcome Reception for the Australian Migrant and Refugee Women's Alliance (AMaRWA) Stand Up! National Conference was held on the evening of Sunday, 28th April at Rydges Lakeside.
It was an honour for MWA's 'Everyday Women with Extraordinary Stories' Series to be the keynote address on the evening, with Ms Marluce Silva Peters as our Keynote Speaker for the month of April.
Marluce is the Coordinator of the Doris Women's Refuge and works to improve services to disadvantaged and marginalised women and girls with her active involvement with many local community groups, services and the ACT Government.
Marluce was awarded the 2009 ACT Government Audrey Fagan Churchill Fellowship to investigate programs to support overseas women surviving family violence.
