International Women′s week takes place the first week in March (week commencing 5th), with International Women′s Day being on the 8th March. Annually on this day, thousands of events are held all over the world to inspire women and celebrate their achievements.
The theme for this year′s event is ‘Connecting Women and Inspiring Girls′, and this year Cheshire Constabulary will be holding various events around the county to celebrate International Women′s Week.
Assistant Chief Constable Janette McCormick said: "The Constabulary is very pleased again to be supporting International Women′s Week. This year not only is it celebrating the success of women both in the community and work place, but it is focussing on ′connecting women′.
"The Neighbourhood Teams play a huge part in this across Cheshire, bringing people together to support their local areas as well as policing.
"The Neighbourhood Policing Teams are engaged with many women′s groups and they see at first hand the strength such networks can be. The work Inspector Catherine Mitchell has done with the SHAPLA Women Group is just one example of this. Enabling young women to connect with role models in the community is the aim of Big Sister in place in Crewe and now Chester.
"The drive and commitment of some very talented female officers has been the success to many of these programme. This year the Neighbourhood Teams are coordinating events across all the three areas to connect groups together as well as form even stronger relationships with the Neighbourhoods."
Information about the events that are taking place around Cheshire will be advertised on the Cheshire Police website next week.
