In 2004 the Office for Women's Policy hosted an International Women's Day (IWD) event around the theme of Strong Women - Strong Communities.
 
The IWD event focused on the talents and achievements of Indigenous women in Western Australia and commemorated the last year of the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People.

Since the first International Women's Day in 1911, IWD has drawn women together in friendship and unity to commemorate past achievements and focus attention on current social, economic and political issues of concern for women.

Local Nyoongar artist, Ms Sharyn Egan, created a meaningful and exciting design for IWD resources which are still available by contacting Women's Information Service.

The IWD slogan Strong Women- Strong Communities appears on postcards and bookmarks and uses six Indigenous languages from the north to the south and east to the west. The languages are symbolic of the breadth and diversity of Indigenous communities in Western Australia and the need for Government and communities to acknowledge this cultural diversity. The six languages are:

Wajarri - from the Yamaji Language Centre translated by Elder Esther Simpson

Kimberley Kriol - from the Kimberley Language Centre

Wangatha - from Wangkanyi Ngurra Tjurta Aboriginal Corporation, Goldfields

Nyangumarta - translation by the Pilbara Language Centre

Nyoongar - translation by Nyoongar Elder Kath Yarran

Merian Mir - translation by Torres Strait Islander Elder Caroline Modee
