International Women's day with Friends of Ireland
March 5, 2021
On the 7th of March, The Embassy of Ireland in Aotearoa New Zealand will be celebrating International Women's Day.
To mark International Women’s Day, the Embassy of Ireland in Aotearoa, in collaboration with the Embassy of Ireland Youth Council, invite you to join them for a virtual gathering on Sunday 7th March at 7–8pm.
International Women’s Day is an opportunity to recognise the achievements of women and girls and reflect on issues which continue to prevent us from achieving real and lasting gender equality. In an age of campaigning for social justice, often spearheaded by younger generations, we will hear from a number of incredibly inspiring women and will ask how we can all collectively support the younger generation in support of social change.
“I was elected by the women of Ireland, who instead of rocking the cradle, rocked the system.”
