Tuesday 8th March is International Women’s Day – a day recognised around the world as an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women around the world and to push for further moves towards equality: this year’s theme is Pledge for Parity, encouraging people to do what they can to help reach gender parity – for example, by encouraging women and girls to reach their ambitions.
On Saturday 5th, Northampton held its annual event at the Guildhall marking International Women’s Day and I was pleased to visit the stalls in the exhibition and watch some of the performances put on that day- as ever there was a great turnout.
