Join us to celebrate International Women’s Day as we bring together trade unionists, community activists, and historians to explore women’s oppression and the power of collective action.
The event will feature leading voices from the women’s movement, trade unions and academics alongside workshops, music, refreshments and access to archival materials from the Library’s collection. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss, learn, and shape practical strategies that can be taken back to workplaces, communities, and homes.
A highlight of the day will be the unveiling of a specially commissioned banner celebrating the life and dedication of trade union activist Jane Loftus.
Hazel Roberts, WCML Trustee, said:
‘International Women’s Day has always been rooted in struggles for equality and workers’ rights. This year, we reflect on women’s historical and contemporary challenges, showing how solidarity and collective action make women a driving force for change. By coming together in a space dedicated to working class history, we aim to inspire a new generation into action and solidarity’
