2024
We’ve used International Women's Day 2024 to highlight an incredible display of Welsh Women’s power by hosting a talk with Siân Howys and Mererid Hopwood to spread the world about the Welsh Women's Petition for Peace! We should be very proud of this international story where 390,000 women rallied for peace and took it across to the US to campaign for a warless world.
2023
Undeb Aberystwyth Held a stall at the Bandstand for 2023 International Women’s Day. This stall had information about campaigns we were running as well as shining a light on the amazing women who work in Undeb Aberystwyth. We also showcased some of the banners students had made for Reclaim the Night marches from previous years.
During the day there was also an International Women’s Day tea party. We celebrated women’s achievements with cakes and tea and heard a feminist poem from Clare Foley and the amazing journey of our incredible CEO Trish McGrath.
