Celebrating Mo Mowlam and Women Peacebuilders: Hen Norton in conversation with Monica McWilliams

/in /by

Join us for an informal conversation between Professor Monica McWilliams, Co-founder of The Women’s Coalition and Henrietta Norton film director and step daughter of Mo Mowlam, to celebrate Mo’s personal and political legacy and successfully negotiating the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, as part of the International Women’s Day celebrations on the 8th March 2021.

Women like Mo and Monica and the many others who played such a key part in the process are too easily forgotten in this story but their role was pivotal to the peace agreement’s success.

Monica and Henrietta will celebrate Mo and the women she worked alongside in this intimate and informal conversation in memory of Mo’s legacy.

Time: 6pm – 7pm
