International Women’s Day 2020 Assembly & Activities

International Women’s Day is celebrated annually on 8 March. It is a day when people around the world come together to recognise the achievements that women and girls have made, as well as call for further action to close the gender gap in terms of education, health, economics and politics.

This resource for ages 9-14 includes an assembly, quiz questions, activity ideas and games to fire up learners about issues of gender inequality and inspire them to take action in their own schools and communities. With strong links to PSHE and citizenship, the activities and slides can easily be differentiated to suit the needs of younger and older learners. Further activity ideas and a list of useful resources are also provided.
