Northern Ireland’s first and deputy first ministers, the first-ever Lady Chief Justice and women leaders in the law, employment, public life and the women’s sector were among guest speakers at an event marking International Women’s Day and 25 years of the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland.
The event in Belfast yesterday was organised by the Equality Commission in partnership with the Women’s Resource and Development Agency (WRDA) and Reclaim the Agenda.
Chief commissioner Geraldine McGahey said: “The Equality Commission has seen many improvements in equality between women and men over its 25 years, but there is more we can do to break down the remaining barriers.
“We are very grateful to our distinguished speakers for coming today to challenge and inspire us, our delegates who bring a huge variety of experience and points of view, and our partners, the WRDA and Reclaim the Agenda.”
