100th anniversary of International Women's Day

Today Platform 51 is celebrating International Women's Day

Today is the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. Platform 51 couldn't let this event pass us by without celebrating. We have events happening in our centres up and down the country and we are getting involved in the national campaign EQUALS to call for a more equal world. If you have ever wondered what Platform 51 is all about then now is your opportunity to get involved and attend an event near you.

EQUALS

Platform 51 has joined a partnership of charities called EQUALS. EQUALS was brought together by Annie Lennox to celebrate the centenary of International Women's Day. Together we're stepping up the call for a more equal world. And we want you to join us.
