Make a Stand with The Circle — Raakhi Shah & Delphine Uwamahoro
International Women's Day discussion on protecting women and girls globally, with The Circle CEO and a grassroots leader from Rwanda. Free, public.
Why we picked this
A grounded International Women's Day conversation that connects global policy to grassroots work on the ground — Delphine Uwamahoro's perspective from Rwanda makes this more than the usual London panel.
The Circle, the global feminist organisation founded by Annie Lennox, brings together two leaders working at opposite ends of the same problem. Raakhi Shah, CEO of The Circle, and Delphine Uwamahoro, founder of Our Sisters’ Opportunity in Rwanda, discuss what protecting women and girls looks like in practice — from international advocacy to community-level action.
Ziauddin Yousafzai, co-founder of the Malala Fund, joins the conversation alongside BBC Woman’s Hour presenter Nuala McGovern, who chairs the evening.
The event takes place at RSA House on the eve of International Women’s Day and is also streamed live on YouTube.
