International Women's Day Poster 2018
2018 'Because of her, we can.'
The image for the 2018 International Women’s Day poster has been drawn from the AIATSIS Collection to illustrate the 2018 National NAIDOC Theme Because of Her, we can! This striking historical image speaks to the strength of the women who have gone before us to create the world we live in today.
The woman featured in this image remains unknown, but AIATSIS exists to help keep Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture strong. The woman is not forgotten and on this International Women’s Day we wanted to pay our respects to women like her. Her image is now spread around the country in a statement about the power of women – Because of Her, we can!
This untold story also raises the important work AIATSIS does in family history research, managing records, preserving photographs and capturing moments in history to share with the rest of the world.

Each year at AIATSIS we celebrate International Women’s Day to acknowledge the women around the globe who continue to empower women and girls through leadership, advocacy, strength and courage. Whether its women in their local communities and regions or on the international stage, women continue to strive to make a difference to the lives of children and families.
Over the years, we have produced an International Women’s Day poster that features an inspirational image from the AIATSIS Collection or a prominent role model in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
