During the Women’s Festival week we are providing a space for women and parents living with children with disabilities to unwind and be fully immersed in the festivities.

The Women’s Festival will be showcasing dance productions, a photographic exhibition and a dazzling performance by Vicky Samson - through her striking lyrics she is encouraging women to celebrate and honour their power.

You will see how fashion meets women's development as a ready-to-wear women's clothing range at the launch of the non-profit Disability Workshop Development Enterprise (DWDE).
