This is the day when women throughout the world celebrate women’s struggles for political , trade union and employment rights. The Festival has always covered a range of topics from arts to the sciences as well as women’s creativity and initiated campaigns for women’s rights As usual the Festival is organised by local women, representing a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
