International Women’s Day

This year, at Republic, we (very, very, very) enthusiastically are proud to be supporting International woman day’s campaign #PressforProgress on March 8th #girlpower

Pop into reception to see our intergalactic fearless female installation followed by the return of the sassy lunchtime talk Goddess, our beloved Mother Mary who’ll be spoiling you all with her Organic Vegan goodie bags (you can sign up here)

With the World Economic Forum’s 2017 Global Gender Gap Report findings telling us that gender parity is over 200 years away – there has never been a more important time to keep motivated and #PressforProgress.

And with global activism for women’s equality fuelled by movements like #MeToo, #TimesUp and more – there is a strong global momentum striving for gender parity.

This is a little back story about International Womens day…

Started by the Suffragettes in the early 1900’s, the first International Women’s Day was celebrated in 1911. International Women’s Day belongs to all communities everywhere – governments, companies, charities, educational institutions, networks, associations, the media and more. Whether through a global conference, community gathering, classroom lesson or dinner table conversation – everyone can play a purposeful part in pressing for gender parity.

So make International Women’s Day YOUR day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women. Press for Progress!
