International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. However, it is tightly linked with women’s activism and labour. The event was born from the belief in the revolutionary potential of working women, and the importance of improving their lives. International Women’s Day is the perfect occasion to reflect on women’s labour, activism and collective power.
Celebrations will culminate in the women’s march for equality on the 11th March, meeting at Govanhill Park at 12pm. Take to the streets with other activists who are challenging stigmas in their communities, their workplaces and in their everyday lives. March for a more equal world; a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. Together we can celebrate women’s achievements and take action for equality.
(“Use of the word ‘women’ is inclusive of Trans and Intersex women, as well as any non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centres the experience of women.”)
