Wall of Women at Merthyr
March 5, 2008
The Glamorgan GATES team is building a Wall of Women to celebrate International Women’s Day on Saturday 8th March.The wall is being built from the images of over 200 women who live or work in Merthyr Tydfil. They come from a number of organisations including Merthyr College, Merthyr Tydfil Housing Association, Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil, Croads Dental Services, Careers Service Wales, The Welsh Centre in Merthyr Tydfil, local businesses and Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council.
Lesley Hodgson, Acting Project Director at Glamorgan GATES said “Annually on 8th March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate their achievements. Our project aims to celebrate the positive role women play in our local community and inspire others to do the same.”
The building of the wall will begin on Thursday 6th March in the GATES shop on the High Street. The exhibition will run for a month.
If anyone else would like to be part of the wall, they are invited to go along to the GATES shop on Saturday 8th March to be photographed.
The Glamorgan GATES project is supported by the University of Glamorgan.
