Ógra Shinn Féin Women's Forum

Gemma McKenna
Uladh Gender Equality Officer
Ógra Shinn Féin

A chairde,

Cúige Uladh Ógra Shinn Féin is hosting a Women's Forum, on Saturday 25th October in the Felons, West Belfast. 12pm -3pm.

This is the first in a series of forums planned by Ógra Uladh, and intends to provide a suitable forum for discussion, debate, training and planning on Gender related issues.


Guest speakers including Eibhlin Glenholmes, head of Sinn Féin's Equality Department, and elected activists will be in attendance.

This forum is open to all activists nationally and is NOT a single gender event.

This is an important event as it gives us all an opportunity to voice our opinions on the issue and together begin to tackle the gender imbalance within our party.

What ever your views are on the issue, come along and make them heard!

would be more appropriate to label this event a gender equallity fourum rather than 'womens' fourum. The title (althouth unintentionally) may deter some of our male comrades from addending! Just a thought.

But its focus is on the lack of women in the party and whether people realise it now or not it is not a single gender issue but something that needs to be tackled by every1.
