International Women’s Day 2023
8 March 2023 #EmbraceEquity
My Sisters' House will be part of several events joining with partner organisations, clients and the local community.
This year we’re doing things a bit differently
Demand for our services has never been higher and it makes sense for us to focus on service delivery and supporting local women.
This means that unlike previous years, we won’t be holding a large-scale event.
My Sisters' House will be part of several events across the week and on the day itself, joining with partner organisations, clients and the local community.
Our focus will be on connecting with women in our local international communities – women who may not know about support that is out there.
International Women’s Open Morning
Join us and partner organisations to raise awareness of the support we offer for the local community in a number of languages.
All women welcome!
