For International Women’s Day the Justice and Democracy team organised several activities for the school community to participate in.
In the morning, each Pastoral Care group participated in viewing a slideshow about International Women’s Day and each student was given a slip of paper on which they were to write a positive comment toward another student or teacher.
At lunch, everyone in the Kildare community was invited to write a message on a graffiti wall as an act of solidarity. The positive messages left behind on the board shone an optimistic light on Kildare’s dedication to justice.
Together we can find solutions to the segregation of women and the disadvantage women face. We can create a future where women have what they need to keep themselves healthy and have the opportunity to thrive. To create a world with true gender equality, we must prioritize the health and wellbeing of women and girls, so they can receive the opportunity to become whatever they want to be.
Although there still may be work to do, we thank all who are dedicated to making a better and more equal world for women.
