Commemorate International Women’s Day with Halton Women’s Place

March 8 is International Women’s Day

March 8 is International Women’s Day, a global day to celebrate women’s and girls’ achievements while raising awareness of the progress made toward gender equality and the work still to be done. Each year, Halton Women’s Place marks this occasion with an International Women’s Day luncheon featuring a guest speaker, a vendor marketplace of women-led businesses, and a hot buffet lunch. We hope you’ll join us for our next luncheon on March 5th, 2026!
