Celebrating
Women’s
History
Month

Women’s History Month runs throughout March and includes International Women’s Day on Friday 8 March. The month honours the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women throughout history.

March is Women's History Month and provides an opportunity to remember, recognise and celebrate the meaningful contributions that women have made to society throughout history.

Throughout the month our Women and Allies Network and Aurora staff network host a programme of activities for employees and students, including development sessions and celebratory events.
