The exhibition features images taken by young people who use the Women’s Refuge Project
in Brighton. This event is International Women’s Day’s annual community event,
an important opportunity for women and their children to come along to
an exciting and informative women only event. The event itself is free although
donations are welcome and free childcare is available. We want this event to be accessible
to all women, whatever their circumstances. The event will recreate a
vibrant street festival and will feature a wealth of community information.
The event is organised by Brighton & Hove’s International Women’s Day group
working with the Women’s Refuge Project.
