Festival participants were household names such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Malala Yousafzai, and Margot Robbie in past years. For future participants, in 2024 they may expect thematized discussions on women's leadership issues, reproductive rights of womanhood, and the power of heroin among other topics. It is the perfect scenario for being informed and empowered in a celebratory way for more days. As you plan your visit to London, consider staying at hotels close to Bupa Cromwell Hospital for convenient access to these empowering events.
One of the important symbols is IWD in London, whose leaders have a massive march every year. March 8, in the streets of central London; organized by a coalition representing various grassroots women’s rights organizations will probably see tens of thousands of people gathering in what is now one of the world's powerful platforms to celebrate International Women's Days. Participants will unite in the advocacy for consolidation of gains made on issues that are sweeping through generations like a widening gender pay gap, violence against women, availability and cost-sharing with regard to healthcare services as well sentiments regarding political representation. The presence of motivational speakers outside yet before the march takes place, will be an inspiring and energizing show around sisterhood dominance.
To celebrate the evening event, no one forgets to attend the annual International Women’s Day Gala held by the Mayor of London in City Hall. With over two hundred individuals in attendance, no doubt the 2024 Gala will celebrate a good number of women trailblazers who made waves locally and internationally with their exceptional leadership and accomplishments. Insightful speakers, award presentations, and a chance to mix with inspiring guests will feature. It is also a glamorous evening of food, drinks, and entertainment scheduled for performances.
