Mayor Andy Bowden on women’s day
SOROPTIMISTS were joined by the Mayor of St Helens, Andy Bowden, to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The day was established in 1908 to celebrate the achievements of women.
Across the world, the day is marked by respect, appreciation and love towards women and acknowledgement of women's economic, political, and social achievements. Some wear purple ribbons on the day.
