Kaurs Rising | Australian Sikh Games 2026
Kaurs Rising is an event series proudly brought to you by the Australian Sikh Games Melbourne 2026 and has been thoughtfully designed to provide a dedicated space for Sikh women of all ages to connect, be inspired and celebrate their Panjaban identity. At its core, Kaurs Rising provides a platform for the voices of all Sikh women to uplift and celebrate those in our community who are breaking barriers, reshaping narratives, and redefining the futures of our community.
This event series offers a space for intergenerational dialogue and important conversations that challenge norms, spark reflection and create pathways for collective growth. It is a step toward ensuring that Sikh women are not only seen and heard but feel deeply valued and meaningfully engaged.
Empower your Kaur is more than a tagline, it is an invitation to our community to uplift and support the Kaurs in our lives - so every Kaur has the opportunity to live life in Chardi Kala!
