Collegiettes in London- Gather Around!

From 5-9 March, the Southbank Centre will be hosting the Women of the World festival, featuring talks, films, art and more from talented women around the world. The festival will be attended by the likes of Malala Yousafzai, Katie Price and Vivienne Westwood.

According the the website, “The WOW weekend is for everybody.  Join us for a packed weekend that celebrates the incredible achievements of women and girls and looks at the most potent topics for women today.  Featuring voices from around the world and stories from your neighbours. WOW is now in its fourth year, and this time it’s bigger, broader, and broaches a range of new subjects.  This has been an important year for women’s rights.  WOW looks back at key events and considers the future, with more action-focused sessions and ways to campaign, whether you’re a veteran or dipping your toe into feminism for the first time.”
