International Women’s Day 2023 – Hyb Cymru Africa Event

The Welsh Government’s Wales and Africa team would like to invite you to a free event to celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March 2023 at Portland House, Cardiff Bay.

Four Welsh organisations were awarded funding to deliver their unique projects in Uganda and Lesotho in order to highlight women’s empowerment and gender equality, working in collaboration with their African partners. Hub Cymru Africa, who work across civil society bringing together charities, individuals and organisations around core organisational themes, has worked closely with the project leaders to successfully deliver sustainable impacts, and will provide an insight into the importance of recognising the importance of gender equality around the globe.

The Minister for Social Justice, Jane Hutt MS, will open the event and highlight why women’s empowerment is so important to her, before we then hear presentations from:

  • Benson Omoding – Project Coordinator, Teams4U
  • Janet Lowore - Programme Manager, Bees for Development
  • Barbara Davies-Quy, Deputy Director, Size of Wales
  • Advocate Joanna Jonas - Director, Nairasha Legal Support

Registration will be from 9.30am, and lunch will be provided at 12.30pm giving everyone the chance to network, have a look around the displays and speak to members of the project teams.

If you would like to attend, please register by 24 February 2023 with your name, organisation (if applicable) and any dietary requirements.
