International Womens Day

International Women’s Day, on March 8, is a focal point in the women’s rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women.


In honour of a woman whose life was given for exactly this, The Donna McDermid Memorial Fund was established to address gender-related issues such as education inequity, female circumcision, breast ironing, sex trafficking, child brides, and the like.

More information on the Donna Mcdermid Memorial Fund can be found here.
