EVENT SOLD OUT
6:30 for 7 pm – Friday 8th March 2024
Introduction
Women Who Inspire is organised to celebrate the vision of International Women’s Day and is the brainchild of Dr. Cathy Ryan MBE. Celebrating women’s achievements throughout history and across nations. Many women have achieved great things, but there are still those who are struggling and face great difficulties and challenges in their lives. Women can be a driving force to help support those women who are still fighting for their independence and their rights. Our first Women Who Inspire supper brought together women who shared stories of how they have used their passion and determination to inspire change, motivate, and encourage others to succeed; to go forward to fight for their rights, justice, independence, or self-worth as an equal. The 2024 event promises to be equally inspirational to help make a difference to the plight of women locally, nationally, and internationally.
Speakers
Bal Howard
Founder of BKH Training, Bal advocates on the issues of honour-based violence. Bal herself was forced into a child marriage. Escaping after 9 years and disowned by her family, she uses her experience to raise awareness and reduce victim isolation. She was employed by Suffolk Constabulary, training police officers and partner agencies to enhance the service to victims. She was twice nominated at the IKWRO True Honour Awards for her dedication to ending honour-based violence in the UK. In 2018, she was recognised by the East Anglian Daily Times as one of Suffolk’s 100 most inspirational women.
Alexandra Munn
Alex is the Founder of Project 21 and orchestrates the marketing, PR, events and fundraising aspects within the charity. She oversees the running of all three branches in Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk. In any (rare) spare time, Alex’s second passion in life is traveling and seeing new places.
