On International Women’s Day, East Arnhem Regional Council celebrates the strength and leadership of the incredible women in our communities. 

This year we are proud to share that Gumurr Marthakal Councillor Evelyna Dhamarrandji was selected to be featured on the Indigenous Marathon Foundation’s (IMF) International Women’s Day (IWD) Medal. Councillor Dhamarrandji is a 2013 Indigenous Marathon Project Graduate and the 2026 IMF IWD WARRIOR.


Having taken on marathons across Australia and oversees, including the New York Marathon, Councillor Dhamarrandji continues to lead with strength and determination that supports her community. As a strong leader she is paving the way for her future while inspiring others.
