BELFAST CITY HALL ACCELERATE ACTION PICS AND CLIPS IWD 2025

IWD speaker Amelia Kai and IWD event host Niamh Campbell

Our IWD 2025 event at Belfast City Hall drew so much interest from a diverse range of sectors.

The Women in Media message is making waves. We couldn’t be happier. And we are so grateful as ever to our event sponsors in the Belfast City Council’s Lord Mayor’s office, U105, NUJ, Jawbox Gin and Clearer Twist.

We were so pleased to host a Women’s Aid Responsible Reporting Matters training workshop as part of our event. The first since it’s relaunch at QUB last week.

Here is a link to the conference in full on Youtube: TO FOLLOW
