International Women’s Day

Tuesday 8th March 2011 was the Centenary of International Women’s Day.  The Swindon Club organised a  ‘Join us on the Bridge’ event.  We were on the footbridge over Princes Street in central Swindon (near The Wyvern Theatre).  We joined with thousands of women worldwide to celebrate the day and to draw attention to the inequalities that still exist particularly in Third World Countries.  We wanted to show our solidarity with women throughout the world. So many women are living in poverty and with constant threat of abuse and lack of healthcare. We want to build bridges of peace between nations and within nations.

Here are photos taken at the event in 2012:
