Banúlacht conferences are unique events in Ireland. They bring together women from diverse backgrounds and sectors—community development, community education, women’s groups and networks, national women’s organisations, NGOs, state agencies and academia—to focus on feminist perspectives on local and global issues, such as human rights, development, trade and leadership. The conferences combine presentations by inspiring key-note speakers from Ireland and the South with creative workshops, drama, music and poetry.
Banúlacht International Women’s Day Conference was a
great lift for me in my aspiration for justice, equality and
education for all women. This conference really has given
me the opportunity to see a diversity of women from
grassroots, national and global levels and discover how
we work in harmony in so many different ways in our
efforts to highlight the reality of women’s lives.
