Happy International Women’s Day!

The Women’s Voice organisation has been at the forefront of celebrating International Women’s Day in Hastings and St Leonards for the last five years. The organisation rejoices in a vibrant mix of women from different class and cultural backgrounds.

Today, there is a march starting at Warrior Square at noon, into town and ending up at the White Rock Hotel where the FABULOUS Lianne Carol will sing and there will be pamper opportunities and tea and cake.

There’s also a Reclaim the Streets march this evening, starting at 7pm from the recreation ground on the West Hill through the old town. And at 8pm there is a music, crafting and cocktail event at Black Market to fundraise for Oxfam women’s projects. £5 recommended donation.

The Women’s Voice celebrations continue on Friday at the University of Brighton in Hastings building in Havelock Road with an event organised in partnership with the Community Universtiy Partnership Programme CUPP.

From 1.45 to 6pm there is a women-only discussion including Amber Rudd MP, and Sarah Owen, the Labour Party parliamentary candidate. The discussion topics are;
1 – women in politics
2 – women in education
3 – women in business.

The event includes guest speakers, question and answer and refreshment. A creche is available but places for the creche need to be booked in advance. To book a creche place please phone 07854 846794.
