Happy International Women's Day!
Today is International Women’s Day. It is a global day of celebration of the achievements of women in all spheres of life, past, present and future.
There are many events taking place up and down the country to commemorate. I will one at a health centre in Sparkbrook tomorrow, another at Balsall Heath Church centre later in the week, as well as speaking to students at Joseph Chamberlain College. Later this evening I will be traveling to London to participate in an event organized by the TUC.
To all women everywhere, happy International Women’s Day!
