Congratulations to Curtin graduate Dr Sandy Chong on being inducted into WAโs Womenโs Hall of Fame! ๐๐
A trailblazer and champion of womenโs empowerment, Sandyโs journey to leadership is a testament to resilience and dedication to dismantling barriers for migrant women in Australia.
As the first Asian person to be elected as President of the United Nations Association in WA, Sandy works tirelessly with local communities, civil society groups, and governments to promote peace, social justice, and inclusion.
Beyond advocacy, Sandy is a passionate mentor for countless young women and migrants through organisations like UN Women, Cherie Blair Foundation and Zonta House Refuge, to name a few.
โThis award holds profound significance for me, not only as a woman but also as a migrant in this country. Living in Australia for nearly 30 years, I`ve encountered and witnessed firsthand the challenges that many face - battling hardships, dealing with both societal and cultural stereotypes, and overcoming systemic barriers.
โThe award is not just a personal achievement for me but also a testament to the resilience and strength of all migrant women everywhere,โ Sandy says.
We are so proud of you Sandy, and your unwavering commitment to advancing womenโs empowerment in Australia and across Asia! ๐๐
