Download:  International Women’s Day – ADDC Special Edition Newsletter

International Women’s Day celebrates the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future and, in particular, the right to vote for women.

 International Women’s Day honours the work of campaigners of women’s rights, celebrates women’s success and reminds us of inequities still to be redressed. The first International Women’s Day event was run in 1911. 2011 is the Global Centenary Year. Despite great achievements in the past 100 years, significant inequities persist.

There have been many natural disasters within the past few months.

As the first anniversary of the Haiti earthquake is today, January 12th 2011, we have collected information to update you on the reconstruction of Haiti.

While the people in Haiti continue to rebuild their lives, we must not forget that many others are experiencing similar challenges in other parts of the world.
