The Equality Office of the City of Erlangen cordially invites you to the Erlangen events on the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8!

On this day, women and people in solidarity publicly stand up for more gender justice. In doing so, they criticize unequal treatment and structures of discrimination against women and queers and call for equality policy changes. And they celebrate the achievements of women’s movements.

Therefore, groups, institutions and committed people have planned a variety of actions and events this year.
