International Women’s Day 2024

Posted on March 8, 2024 by Buckley Admin

Today we celebrate International Women’s Day 2024.

The theme this year is Inspire Inclusion.

Our club captain Olivia tells us what it means to her.

” Today is International Women’s Day and this year’s theme is inspire inclusion, this means that women and girls feel inspired to be included and feel empowered in all aspects of society.

Gymnastics is a fantastic sport, and at Buckley Gymnastics Club we want to make sure everybody is included regardless of race, age, ability, faith, body image and how they identify.

Let’s celebrate everyone’s uniqueness together!”

Thank you Olivia, we will aim to inspire inclusion in our club.

There’s lots of inspiration of women in sport on the International Women’s Day  website.
