The Great Hall at Westonbirt School provided an impressive space for Year 11 student, Emily, to showcase her International Women’s Day exhibition today.
Emily put together the exhibition to raise awareness of International Woman’s Day and to inspire her fellow students with impactful woman throughout history. Emily said;
“I wanted to make sure that there was a diverse range of women displayed, there are a lot of girls
and boys at Westonbirt and I wanted to make sure that everyone had someone they felt they could relate to and be inspired by.”
Rosa Parks, Bessie Coleman, Michelle Obama, Jane Austin, Malala Yousafzai, Indira Gandhi and Marie Curie were among over 20 women on display.
Every year, International Women’s Day is celebrated to mark and highlight the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women while raising awareness of female equality and accelerating gender parity.
Emily said “It is so important to celebrate women and promote women having equal rights because, even today, there are still some worrying statistics. I enjoyed putting on the exhibition.”
Happy International Women’s Day!
