As we mark #InternationalWomensDay and Women’s History Month with events across Tower Hamlets, we recommit ourselves to tackling the scourge of gender inequality and standing in solidarity with women facing oppression around the world.
I am proud of the range of services we’ve opened in Tower Hamlets dedicated to supporting women and girls, developed in partnership with residents.
This includes our recent opening of the Nari Centre, which brings services for women together under one roof, with classrooms, IT suite, creche facilities, a community kitchen and spaces for one-to-one support.
This is a wonderful, welcoming space for accessing support and advice, as well as building skills, taking part in activities, and connecting with others.
