The Focus of the Women’s Festival?

 

SELF ESTEEM

Too many girls and women develop low self- esteem from hang-ups about looks. Consequently, many fail to reach their full potential later in life. In accordance with the National Dove Campaign for Real Beauty the Women’s Fest will educate and inspire women and young girls to a wider definition of beauty.

       History of International Women’s Day 


International Women's Day (March 8) was first celebrated in the United States in 1909. Since then the day has assumed global dimensions for women in developed and developing countries alike. It is designated in many countries as a national holiday. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.

PLEASE PLAN TO JOIN US in celebration of the progress that has been made and the acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in women’s history..
