Female members of the Bill of Rights Forum gathered in Custom House Square today to mark International Women’s Day, Saturday 8th March 2008.
Speaking at the event, Forum member Margaret Ward said:
“International Women’s Day is a time when women all over the world have an opportunity to raise their voices in a collective demand for equality. I would urge women to voice their support for a strong Bill of Rights that will provide a foundation for the future equality of all women living in Northern Ireland.”
The Bill of Rights Forum is nearing the end of its work and will publish its recommendations on 31st March.
