Celebrations

International Women’s day held on 8 March each year, is the day we celebrate all women, in all their diversities. We embrace their facets and intersections of faith, race, ethnicity, gender or sexual identity, or disability. We celebrate those who came before us, those who stand beside us now, and those who will come after. It’s a time to celebrate the achievements of women, whether social, political, economic or cultural.

Trans Day of Visibility held on 31 March each year, is and international celebration of trans and gender diverse pride and awareness, recognising trans and gender diverse experiences and achievements.
