Friday 8th March

It is a very inspiring time to be a woman. With International Women’s Day coming up on March 8th, it is a day to reflect on our achievements as women, and speak about how far we still have to go to have gender parity.

The theme for International Women's Day in 2019 is “Women’s rights are human rights!” and #BalanceforBetter. It is where we celebrate the achievements of women, whether social, political, economic or cultural and celebrate all women, in all their diversities.
