Women's History Month
Vision RCL is proud to host Women’s History Month, an opportunity to celebrate the diversity and strength of Women in the Redbridge community.
For 2026, the National Women’s History Alliance (NWHA) proudly presents the theme: “Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future”.
This theme honors the women who have and are reimagining and rebuilding systems to ensure long-term sustainability – environmental, economic, educational, and societal. It recognizes the powerful leadership of women in creating a future that is rooted in equity, justice, and opportunity for all.
From environmental advocacy to financial reform, from community organizing to policy innovation, women are at the forefront of driving holistic change. Their leadership is not only addressing today ’s most urgent challenges – it is laying the foundation for a more resilient and inclusive tomorrow.
International Women's Day..
..celebrated annually on 8 March, is a global occasion dedicated to recognising the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It is also a powerful call to action for accelerating gender equality across all aspects of life.
The theme for International Women’s Day 2026 (Sunday 8th March) is “Balance the Scales” which calls for achieving gender equality by dismantling systemic barriers that prevent women and girls from having fair access to justice, safety, and opportunity.
This theme is about:
-
Dismantling systemic barriers

Promoting equality and opportunity
-
