International Women's Day

International Women's Day is celebrated on 8 March, commemorating women's fight for equality and liberation. The day gives focus to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women.

Colas Portsmouth celebrated International Women's Day on Monday 9th March 2026 by wearing Purple to work. Sacha Lindsey even had her hair-coloured Purple 

Wearing purple for International Women's Day is a global act of solidarity that signifies justice and dignity.
