International Women’s Day (8 March) is a day for women to join voices with people around the world and shout our message for equal rights loud and clear: “Women’s rights are human rights!” Franklin will celebrate IWD on Saturday March 6th 2021
We celebrate all women, in all their diversities. We embrace their facets and intersections of faith, race, ethnicity, gender or sexual identity and disability. We celebrate those who came before us, those who stand beside us now, and those who will come after.
It’s a time to celebrate the achievements of women, whether social, political, economic or cultural. BPW Franklin would like to hear of remarkable women who have contributed to the community in any way. If you know of a woman, particularly one who has come to NZ from another country, who could be recognised for her contribution to our society please notify bpwfranklinsec@gmail.com.
As it is an International Day as many countries as possible need to be represented. The more countries present the better Franklin will be demonstrate its inclusiveness. To date, people attending are from Argentina, Thailand, South Africa, India, Peru, Fiji, Russia, Philippines, Columbia, Pakeha and Maori cultures.
More nationalities are sought and will be welcomed.
.
There will be static displays for women’s groups to promote and recruit more members, to make friends and create more understanding between our cultures.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
