Description

You are cordially invited to attend the 6th annual International Women's Day on the theme Better The Balance, Better The World.

This International Women’s Day Annual Event celebrates women from all walks of life, highlights and reflects on the work of those who have been engaged in improving conditions for women locally, nationally, and internationally. Another goal of the event is to inspire and mentor others to think of ways for reducing gender inequality in the Madison area and other places around the world.

AFRICaide is co-sponsoring this year's event with the UW-Madison 4W (Women & Wellbeing in Wisconsin & the World) Initiative. The purpose of the event is to bring together women of all backgrounds, nationalities, races, economic levels, ages, languages, religions, educational attainments, and all sexual orientations to celebrate International Women's Day. If you are wondering whether you will be welcome, this event is for you.

“Right now is a great and important time in history to do everything possible to help forge a more gender-balanced world. Women have come a long way, yet there's still more to be achieved." International Women’s Day website, 2019.

As we celebrate our 6th anniversary, our goal is to make this event more international and more engaging than in previous years. Attendees are encouraged (though not required) to wear purple.

We will feature an inspiring keynote speaker, a photoshoot, small group discussions, and other activities. The day will start with a global marketplace, cultural performances and a Women’s Walk Around the World. Trailblazer awards will be given during lunch before we transition to sharing our stories.
