A year after the launch in Manchester of ‘Women who Wander, WiCR members were invited to a spectacular event at the Museum of Liverpool on International Women’s Day 2019.
Hundreds of girls and young women had entered a writing competition with the theme of ‘A Female Future’. The twenty-five winners collected their prizes and read their pieces to an audience of parents, teachers, and rail industry professionals.
The (female!) Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Christine Banks, gave an inspirational speech, drawing on examples from
her own life to show what women can achieve.
Samantha Dowd was there, interviewing and filming for her videos on paid and voluntary opportunities in Community Rail.
‘Staged Kaos’ youth theatre treated us to an exuberant dance performance on Women’s Rights themes.
And we all took home a beautifully presented booklet of all the winning competition entries.
