Come help us celebrate the entrepreneurial, political, social and cultural achievements of women, and their acts of courage and determination in the pursuit of gender parity in their workplaces, communities and countries.
To mark the day, we have planned a series of events and workshops at UWE which are all free to attend and open to all.
Alongside the events there will be stalls set up through the Atrium showcasing the amazing work that women in our region produce.
There will be a charity raffle with prizes including a Spa day from The Gainsborough Bath Spa, two tickets to the Affordable Art Fair in London, a coaching session from Sequoia Bridge as well as many more. All proceeds from the raffle will go to Bristol charity one25 who reach out to women trapped in, or vulnerable to, street sex work, supporting them to break free and build new lives away from violence, poverty and addiction. Further information can be found here!
There will be a free lunch provided by Bini Fine Foods for all attendees.
In order to register for this event, please email: fbl.execsupport@uwe.ac.uk
