On International Women’s Day we celebrate the social, cultural, economic and political achievements of women worldwide while bringing attention to issues like gender equality, women’s rights, reproductive health and violence against women and girls. This year the United Nations theme is ‘DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality.’ The aim is to highlight the crucial need to provide better access for women and girls to digital education and encourage more of them into careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
To mark International Women’s Day club members have visited three care homes in Aberdeen to present pots of crocus bulbs grown by members to the residents.
