WHY DO WE CELEBRATE WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH 2022?

During March, Women's History Month celebrates the vital role of women in history and acknowledges women's contributions to culture and society.

But historically, the contributions of Black women, some of who have been behind several of the world's impactful social movements, lacks wide recognition or are entirely erased from public historical narratives. Yet, the very fabric of society would be different without the contributions from Black women.

Here in the UK, join us on Saturday, 5 March, as we acknowledge the labour, sacrifices, and the incredible and inspirational contributions of dedicated pioneers who contributed and helped shape our world, as well as the committed Black women who have continued the exceptional work set by their forerunners.

WHY DO WE CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY (IWD) 2022?

IWD is celebrated annually on 8 March to recognise women's social, economic, cultural, and political achievements, raise awareness of discrimination and bias, and inspire and empower us to take action for equality.

Black women exist at the intersection of racism and misogyny, we are marginalised and discriminated against for being Black and being women - we live in both identities at all times.

In seeking gender equality, the mainstream women's movement lacks real inclusion in celebrating Black women’s achievements and raising issues that affect our intersecting identities, not because of our lack of participation in eradicating gender oppression. But the result of anti-Blackness, lack of real allyship and solidarity. Black women’s challenges are generally ignored or not raised at all.

Join us on Saturday, 11 March 2023, at Novotel London West Conference Centre where the experiences and needs of Black women are centred.

WHY CURLYTREATS FESTIVAL PRESENTS DEAR BLACK WOMEN EXISTS?

To take up space, give appreciation and celebrate the resilience, power and contributions of Black women to history, culture, and society - through a series of thoughtfully curated panel talks, workshops, seminars, awards, and the marketplace.

The festival provides an environment that centres our love for ourselves and our visions for the society we want to experience and would like future generations to live in - a world that does not diminish, devalue, or discard us.

We are excited to see you there and celebrate this special day with you on Saturday, 5 March.
