Many of us young women take our working conditions and rights for granted these days. Having grown up in a generation where women have almost equal rights to men, we don't often think about what it would be like to live in a world where women worked long hours for half a man's wage and had no right to vote.
In the early 1900's, thousands of women marched through New York to petition for womens rights. From the actions of these women, International Women's Day came to be celebrated in many countries over the world as an official day for women to speak out our rights, the changes we would like to see in the world and how we can try to effect these changes.
So on Monday 8th March head over to the Fassifern Community Centre on Little High Street for stalls, arts and craft, free workshops, and health and lifestyle discussions. It starts at 9:30 and continues until 2:30pm. Feel free to bring your littlies!
