Expo for IWD
THE Women’s Resource and Outreach Centre will this year host a Women’s expo in commemoration of International Women’s Day under the theme Women & Girls: Making it Happen.
The expo will be held at Founders Park, University of the West Indies on Saturday March 7. IWD is celebrated worldwide on March 8.
This second staging sees partners Bureau of Women’s Affairs, Institute for Gender and Development Studies (Mona Unit), United Nations Population Fund and Young Women’s Leadership Initiative collaborating to execute an all-day woman-focused event.
Several companies are being invited to exhibit and promote their products and services that cater to women and their families. The day — supported by sponsors Hairloss Clinic, Jamaica National Building Society, Scotiabank, Cari-Med and Blue Janitorial Care Services — will feature exciting booths, a farmers’ market, stimulating presentations, spot prizes and giveaways and live entertainment.
IWD allows us to recognise and celebrate the phenomenal contributions of women in society while standing in solidarity for and raising awareness of the many pressing issues affecting women across the world.
