Women’s rights are being eroded. The time for change is now.

On 4 March, we’ll come together with The Circle to explore how we can protect women and girls in an increasingly turbulent global landscape, and drive change through collective action.

Founded by Annie Lennox alongside other leading women, The Circle is a global feminist organisation bringing together women and allies to create a fairer, safer world.

The evening will be hosted by Nuala McGovern, journalist and presenter of BBC Woman’s Hour, in conversation with co-founder of the Malala Fund, Ziauddin Yousafzai, Raakhi Shah, CEO of The Circle, and Delphine Uwamahoro, founder of Our Sisters’ Opportunity in Rwanda.

One in three women in the world will experience violence in their lifetime. Join us on International Women’s Day to make a stand and demand change.

Speakers:

  • Raakhi Shah, CEO, The Circle
  • Delphine Uwamahoro, Founder and Executive Director, Our Sisters’ Opportunity
  • Ziauddin Yousafzai, Co-founder of Malala Fund
