ON THE evening of Saturday March 7 left parties and women’s organisations from a number of countries will come together in London, as they do every year at this time, for a celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD) that is truly international — in its politics, its cultural programme and the delicious buffet it offers everyone who attends.
The annual event, organised by the Women’s Group of the Co-ordinating Committee of Communist Parties in Britain, has become a much-anticipated and valued element of the left and progressive calendar and we are sure that this year’s celebration will not disappoint.
The evening opens with greetings from the National Assembly of Women, Britain’s affiliate to the Women’s International Democratic Federation.
