IN PICTURES: Derry women share their stories for International Women’s Day

Women from across the Bogside, Bishop Street, Brandywell and Fountain neighbourhood gathered with Féile on International Women’s Day to share their stories and recognise the inspirational women who make a real difference in our community every single day.

A group of formidable women from different backgrounds and generations came together to reflect on their journeys and speak about the activism and community work they have been involved in over the years.

The event was inspired by the memory of Roisin Barton, whose lifelong commitment to social justice, equality and compassion left a lasting mark on so many.

During the gathering, women spoke in groups about their own experiences, the projects they have been part of, and why they continue to stand up and work to make life better for others.

Féile would like to thank all the women who continue to make a difference in our community and across society and recognised the important role they play in helping to build a brighter future for everyone.

The event formed part of Féile’s Connect:Interact:Create Programme, funded by The Executive Office’s Central Good Relations Fund.
