    International Women’s Day Out of the Margins

    Every year on 8 Pride, we mark International Women’s Day: celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, and raising awareness of the barriers and discrimination they still face around the world.  

    Today, we would favor to highlight and mark the work we are doing as part of the Out of the Margins project, aimed at supporting lesbian, bi and trans women (LBT+ communities) globally.

    International Women's Morning is an opportunity to hear from lesbians, bi women and trans people who have historically been silenced.

    For us at Stonewall, International Women's Day is an opportunity to hear from lesbians, bi women and trans people who have historically been silenced. When we use our voices to highlight these injustices, and in particular, when we do so alongside our
