EVENTS are being held across Glasgow to mark International Women’s Day.
From concerts and conferences to fun runs and festivals – people were invited to celebrate the day with friends, family or colleagues.
The aim is to help forge a more gender-balanced world by raising awareness, celebrating achievements by women and to hold rallies for change.
HERALD & TIMES
The Herald and Times today celebrates International Women’s Day with a gathering of some female members of staff on the editorial floor.
Our staff picture shows female members of the team including writers on the Evening Times, The Herald, Clyde and Forth weekly titles and our digital team.
Evening Times news editor Deborah Anderson said:”Male dominated newsrooms have been consigned to the past and today our female staff reflect that important change.”
EAST END
Six inspirational women from the East End of Glasgow marked International Women's Day 2019 at Glasgow Fort, coming together to celebrate their social, cultural and political achievements in the local community.
Councillor Maureen Burke, Maureen Ferrie, Director of the G.E.S.H, Martha Pearson from The Women's Centre in Easterhouse, Karen Ciantar from Barnardos, Allison Chaney, Manager of Marks & Spencer at Glasgow Fort and Lorna Raeis-Hosseini, Manager of Boots at Glasgow Fort, spent the afternoon at the centre, sharing their stories and advice to help inspire future female leaders in the region.
OH POLLY
Glasgow based fashion retailer Oh Polly is thanking its team of 270 women around the world who are the driving force behind its multi-million pound success story, and offering every shopper in the UK 20% off for one day only.
Since it was founded in 2015 by Claire Henderson and Mike Branney, Oh Polly has become one of the rising stars of the online fashion industry.
SWG3
A collective of leading female street artists and designers from Scotland, who operate under the name Cobolt, have come together to celebrate International Women's Day 2019.
For their very first project working together, the foursome - Kat Loudon, Chelsea Frew, Erin Bradley-Scott and Edda Karólína - have unveiled a new 13ft high mural in SWG3's legal graffiti yard, 'Celebrate Women', which they unveiled today. The mural depicts the silhouettes of five women from different cultures.
