GFS were proud to exhibit at this year’s Women of The World Festival (WOW), held at London’s Southbank Centre.
Our stall was visited by many potential volunteers, as well as women and organisations who wanted to find out more and get involved.
The purpose of the WOW festival is to celebrate women and girls, and look at the obstacles that stop them from achieving their potential. There were many events throughout the week which ran from 7th-12th March including workshops, inspirational talks and guest speakers including Sandi Toksvig and Gillian Anderson.
Around the world, individuals and communities are insisting on the simple proposition that women must have equal rights and asking the question: ‘why is gender equality taking so long to achieve?’
WOW – Women of the World festival is a global network of festivals which provides a platform for interrogating this question
