International Women’s Day 2022

To mark International Women’s Day, the Wicklow Women Councillors Caucus are calling on communities in Wicklow  to gather for a walk and chat in aid of Bray Women’s Refuge and Women’s Aid.  The Caucus, which was established in 2021, is a non partisan group made up of all Women Councillors with the aim of addressing  barriers to women entering politics and  to strenghten cooperation between women elected in Local Government.   

Chair of the Caucus and Greystones Cathaoirleach Cllr Lourda Scott says: “We orgainsed our first event last year to co incide with International Womens Day, which due to the pandemic was held online. This year we are delighted to be able to meet people in our communities for a more casual gathering.We’d encourage anyone who is around to join us for a walk, or just come afterwards for tea and scones and a chat. Kids are also very welcome to join.”

Bray Cathaoirleach Cllr. Aoife Flynn Kennedy continued: ‘This event provides a opportunity for everyone to come together to show their support for women in our communities  and to raise funds for these amezing charities.  Huge thanks to John Duggan and the Martello for their support and for their commitment to match any funds raised for Womens Aid and Bray Womens Refuge’.
