An adventurer, an advocate for cystic fibrosis and an LGBTIQ+ advocate are among 25 trailblazers who have been inducted in the 2019 South Australian Women’s Honour Roll.

Held every second year, the State Government awards recognise and celebrate extraordinary women who make valuable contributions to our community. This year is the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in South Australia.

Minister for Human Services Michelle Lensink congratulated the 25 deserving honour roll inductees for their hard work and dedication to their fields.

“Each and every one of these women deserves recognition for their hard work and I congratulate them for being inducted into the 2019 South Australian Women’s Honour Roll,” said Minister Lensink.

“Their work reflects the many ways women are actively involved in making a difference in the community and this include advocacy for the LGBTIQ+ community, for homeless women and for Aboriginal people, young people and for women escaping domestic violence.

“This year’s honour roll inductees also reflect that women have a place in non-traditional areas such as the STEM sector, the construction industry and as aviators and adventurers.

“It’s essential that we celebrate women’s achievements in our state, so we continue to challenge traditional perceptions about women’s roles.
