Also taking action for equality and making a positive difference for women. \u00a0It was founded more than a century ago after more than 15,000 women marched in New York City to demand better working conditions and voting rights. This year the focus is on \u2018Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow\u2019 with the theme of Break The Bias. SI Heswall members wore purple at their recent meeting &#8211; the official colour of International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>The guest speaker at the meeting was Murray Dale from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wateraid.org\/uk\/\">Water Aid<\/a> who spoke about the range of projects which Water Aid is currently supporting and which focus on improving opportunities and benefits for women and girls. From Water Aid on International Women\u2019s Day 2022<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<em>This\u00a0International Women&#8217;s Day, we&#8217;re celebrating the women that are improving\u00a0the lives of those around them by providing clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene. By finding practical solutions to what could feel like insurmountable problems, they&#8217;re making progress not just for other women, but for us all. And that is women&#8217;s empowerment.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International Women\u2019s Day is a global day when Soroptimists celebrate women\u2019s achievements and raising awareness&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":647,"featured_media":5006,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Break The Bias | News | Blog | Events | SI Heswall and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Heswall and District : Blog &amp; News : Break The Bias : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Heswall and District .
