The first Town Council Celebration of International Women’s Day took place on Saturday 9ου March in the Town Council Chamber at Maison Dieu House. Those marking the achievements of women were urged not just to celebrate but to recognise the fight is not over and that there are women and young girls in every country on Earth being denied the right to quality of life, a voice and a future. Everyone there was asked to take that thought with them and find ways to be a further instrument of change for the better in the future.
Dawn Madison from local Arts Charity Dover smART and Paula Elliott, Director of Dover Pitman’s Training spoke about women’s achievements in their sector. Both Dawn and Paula, who celebrates 20 years running her business this year, drew on their years of experience to make some serious points about how far women have come towards equal opportunities and how far there is yet to go. The evening ended with singing led by a ladies choir together with mocktails and refreshments.
Παγκόσμια Ημέρα της Γυναίκας είναι μια παγκόσμια ημέρα εορτασμού της κοινωνικής, οικονομικός, πολιτιστικά και πολιτικά επιτεύγματα των γυναικών – ενώ σήμανση και μια πρόσκληση για δράση για την επιτάχυνση ισορροπία μεταξύ των φύλων.
Φέτος το θέμα είναι #BalanceforBetter - ο κόσμος θα γίνει καλύτερος αν οι γυναίκες και οι άνδρες μπορούν και οι δύο να κάνουν πλήρη συμβολή στην κοινωνική ζωή.
