Northern Ireland Rural Women’s Network (NIRWN) was established in September 2006 ‘to promote and support rural women in rural Northern Ireland.
Our International Women's Day Event is supported through Comic Relief Gender Justice Fund.
The theme for International Women’s Day 2021 is ‘The New Phenomenal’. We will aim to celebrate all the phenomenal women who make up our society, all contributing to keep our communities going during ‘the new normal’.
We want to celebrate all the phenomenal women who have rallied during the pandemic, from healthcare and other essential workers, to those home-schooling, caring and volunteering, and all the activists driving change.
The Gender Justice Virtual Exhibition will showcase and celebrate creative works and photography created by our membership this year and we will have guest speakers leading a discussion on gender justice and feminism.
