London Borough of Barking and Dagenham proudly celebrates Women’s Empowerment Month, a time dedicated to recognising the achievements, resilience and leadership of women across our community.
Building on the borough’s ongoing commitment to championing gender equality, this year’s programme is inspired by the 2026 International Women’s Day theme, Give to Gain a powerful reminder that when we give our time, resources, and support to uplift women and girls, we all benefit.
The Give to Gain campaign emphasises the importance of reciprocity and collective action, encouraging individuals, organisations and communities to contribute in ways that create meaningful opportunities and lasting impact for women everywhere.
