Celebrating inspirational women in Newcastle: For International Women’s Day 2025, Newcastle City Council are joining with partners to celebrate inspirational women, raise awareness about gender equality and to honour the women shaping our city and making a difference in our communities. As NCC state “Inspiration comes in many forms—whether through academic or career success, overcoming adversity, making a difference for communities, or empowering others to succeed. We want to hear about the women who have changed our city or benefitted the lives of others”
