International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality through shining a light on persistent issues like gender-based violence and unequal access to education and opportunities. It aims to mobilize action for equality through encouraging individuals, communities, and organisations to take steps toward creating a more inclusive and equitable world for women.
ACCESSIBILITY: The Fountainhead is step-free throughout with a ramp to an accessible toilet. Please note, the front door has a small ledge upon entry.
