At only £7.50/£5 concessions, this event is a bargain, and all profits go to Sandra Rojas' work with rural women producers and the Pastoral Women's Council projects with the Maasai in Tanzania.
There are so many reasons to be excited about this event! There will be a wide range of speakers including Sandra Rojas, a womens community activist and Fairtrade sesame producer from Nicaragua.
Rosie Martin, Chief Executive of African Initiatives will be discussing 'Women's Rights and the Millenium Development Goals'. Focussing on Women's projects in Mozambique and Zimbabwe will be Peninah Achieng, Chair of Bristol Link with Beira.
If you need more persuasion the delicious buffet (included in the ticket price) will be provided by Halo Bar Cafe and include vegetarian and vegan options. Both women and men are welcome.
Each year around the world, International Women's Day is celebrated on the 8th March. Thousands of events occur throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women.
