The Circle’s Global Feminist Series

BBC Woman’s Hour presenter and journalist Nuala McGovern will chair an International Women’s Day discussion with Raakhi Shah, CEO of The Circle, and Delphine Uwamahoro, founder of its grassroots partner in Rwanda, Our Sisters’ Opportunity.

The panel will explore the global pandemic of violence against women and how solidarity and collective action can protect progress and drive change.
