Vietnam Lunch

Bailliage of Vietnam
Hanoi, March 8, 2023

Celebrating International Women's Day
" A portion of the proceeds from the event were donated to 'Education for Women's Empowerment in Amazonian Peru' "

International Women’s Day is commemorated in a variety of ways worldwide; it is a public holiday in several countries and observed socially or locally in others to celebrate and promote the achievements of women.

In our Bailliage we joined forces with Melannie Pook, who is to be a Dame de la Chaîne nominee soon, to host a special three-course lunch with drinks in Hanoi to celebrate women’s empowerment.

At the lunch, Dame de la Chaîne Alison Astarita gave a thought-provoking speech about empowering women in the workplace in Vietnam.

A portion of the proceeds from the event were donated to “Education for Women’s Empowerment in Amazonian Peru” as chosen by Mrs Pook, our organizing partner extra-ordinaire.

[Ed. International Women's Day (IWD) is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8th as a focal point in the women's rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. Spurred on by the universal female suffrage movement, IWD originated from labour movements in North America and Europe during the early 20th century.]
