"The Power of Women in Global Peace Building" is the theme chosen for an upcoming event in Brighton to commemorate International Women's Day.
Last Saturday, Sussex-based non-profit, Diversity Resource International (DRI) C.I.C., and the Jubilee Library unveiled the photographic exhibition "Eritrean Women at War for Freedom". This powerful set of photographs was revealed for the first time in Lewes last year, with over 100 individuals visiting the Lewes Depot to see them.
On the 8th of March, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm, the Jubilee Library in Brighton will be hosting a panel discussion with 4 remarkable women to discuss the topic of "The Power of Women in Global Peace Building".
