Tasmanian Stories: Women in Tasmania Screenpiece

To celebrate International Women’s Day 2023 and the recent release of Equal means Equal: Tasmanian Women’s Strategy 2022-2027, the Department of Premier and Cabinet has partnered with Brand Tasmania to share Tasmanian women’s stories.

View the Women in Tasmania screenpiece here: Women in Tasmania | Tasmanian

The film features 17 women from across Tasmania who make this place incredible. This year each women’s story will be shared.

The Tasmanian Government is working towards equality for all women from all walks of life. One of the key ways we’re working for equality is by promoting women’s visibility and raising awareness of their achievements and challenges.

It’s important we recognise women’s experiences - the challenging and inspiring, the small and the special. The quiet (or the loud) pursuit of the extraordinary that women pursue in their careers, their families, and their communities.

We want all Tasmanians of all genders to see what can be achieved in our wonderful State, and we want them to feel empowered to pursue their passions.

Women in Tasmania: Tasmanian Stories Project

Through the Women in Tasmania screenpiece we want to celebrate women across Tasmania. In partnership with Brand Tasmania, we travelled across the State to film women doing what they love, capturing these women’s stories in all their richness and complexity.

There is much that is special about this place; the islands, the people and what we do. There is also hardship and struggle, in our past and our present. For women, it is a particular specialness and a particular hardship.

Some women have deep connections to this place lasting six generations or 60,000 years. Some have only just arrived, bringing their cultures and stories with them.

Tasmania is a place of possibility where we can use our differences as a strength, to inspire, to build, to lead, and create change together.

Women in Tasmania have a deep connection to their communities and environment, which drives them to live in honest and compelling ways. Women don’t shy away from challenges; they embrace them and nurture the opportunities they present, and they feel that their achievements are more meaningful because of it.

Through Equal means Equal: Tasmanian Women’s Strategy 2022-2027, Tasmanian Women told us that they want to see women as leaders and in roles that have been traditionally harder for them to pursue. They also want to raise awareness of the true value of professions often undertaken by women, like teaching, nursing, and caregiving.

Tasmanian women want women’s experiences, achievements, and successes to be acknowledged and recognised.

Women want to be inspired by women like them doing extraordinary – and ordinary –  things.

By raising awareness of these stories, the Tasmanian Government aims to champion the meaningful achievements of women.

We want young women and girls to see themselves in these stories and know that our Tasmania is a State of opportunity, where the options are endless and dreams can be pursued.
