WELCOME

Welcome to the webhub for York International Women’s Week

Each year volunteers in York, UK put on 9 days of events around 8th March, International Women’s Day. It’s a wide-ranging community programme offering a variety of events with most of them free. People come together to find out about women’s rights locally and globally, to be stimulated by art, cultural activities, and wellness workshops, and for support and fun. YIWW creates a space where we can celebrate women’s achievements alongside witnessing our struggles, and continue to work towards justice and equality for all.

YIWW2025 Programme available here in the first week of February 2025, shortly followed by printed brochures available in libraries, community centres, and many local cafes and shops.
