OXFORD INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S FESTIVAL

The Oxford International Women's Collective organises an annual festival taking place from February to March celebrating International Women's Day on 8 March.

The Festival celebrates the creativity of women through theatre, music, talks, exhibits and workshops, while recognising the struggles for equal rights at work and at home, for trade union recognition, improved working conditions, good childcare facilities and for women's voices to be heard.

The Festival celebrates Oxford women’s achievements in the arts, sciences, workplace and home. It aims to highlight women’s local, national and international issues and support individual women and organisations who are campaigning for equal rights. The Festival includes women of all races, backgrounds and interest groups. The Festival celebrates the many ways women contribute to Oxford's social, economic, political and cultural life. This includes their contribution to women's national and local issues.
