What does being a woman in 2023 mean?

To mark International women’s Day 2023 The Independent is bringing a stella, wide-ranging panel of women to discuss what being a woman in 2023 really means. Sadly, it offers a chance to look back on a year when so much wrong has been done to women both here in the UK and across the world. You only have to think of the horrifying murders of women that have taken place here in the UK as well as violence inflicted on them by the likes of former police officer David Carrick to be aware of how much further we have to go as society until women achieve any sense of equality to their male counterparts. However, we will also be talking to our panellists about their accomplishments as women, how some of them have overcome being in male dominated environments and what positive changes has taken place over the past 12 months. We will finally look ahead to what the next 12 months are looking like for women, what it is really likely to change and what known challenges there are to overcome. Join us for this discussion for free on March 8.
