International Women's Day
The exciting thing is that The Hon Nanaia Mahutu, Minister for Foreign Affairs will be gracing the event with her presence from 10am to 12noon.
International Women’s Day (8 March) is a day for women to join voices with people around the world and shout our message for equal rights loud and clear: “Women’s rights are human rights!” FRANKLIN WILL CELEBRRATE IWD on SATURDAY 6th MARCH 2021.
We celebrate all women, in all their diversities. We embrace their facets and intersections of faith, race, ethnicity, gender or sexual identity and 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. BPW Franklin would like to hear of remarkable women who have contributed to the community in any of these ways. If you know of a woman, particularly one who has come to NZ from another country, who could be recognised for her contributions please notify bpwfranklinsec@gmail.com. Tickets can be purchased from bpwfranklin.tickets@gmail.com
