International Women's Day 2022Â
On International Womenâs Day, Fawcett is taking part in a chain of events across the UK and we'd love you to join!Â
We are delighted to host this exciting event alongside three incredible organisations across the nation: Northern Ireland Womenâs European Platform (N.I.W.E.P), WEN Wales and Engender in Scotland to spotlight how each organisation is working to #BreakTheBias.Â
This online chain of event starts from 3pm on Tuesday 8th March and will last until 7pm, with each nation hosting their own session.
As part of this event, join Fawcett as we explore gender stereotypes in the world of sport. Our panel session, from 4pm, will focus on the barriers women face when taking part in sports, the attitudes to women in sport, how gender stereotypes can hold back women from participating and playing sport and how those hurdles start in childhood.
