International Women’s Day 2024

The theme for International Women’s Day 2024 on Friday, 8 March is 'Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress'. Based on the priority theme for the United Nations 68^th Commission on the Status of Women, 'Count Her In' will examine the pathways to greater economic inclusion for women and girls everywhere. 

In support of this year's theme, the College is hosting a panel discussion, where we will delve into topics regarding the importance of economic empowerment in a gender equal world. It is an open platform for us all to share experiences, challenges, strategies and learn from each other.
