Our crèche wore yellow this week and had sunflower activities to symbolise hope to support DCSDC becoming a District of Hope. "Making Hope Happen” is a partnership initiative with RESILIO and North West Community Network. facebook.com/share/r/rCWyp4…
We are busy busy busy as always and can't wait to meet all the new women registered to our centre. This is just a little update on our programmes running during April - June. We are filling up fast so if interested please get registered to avoid disappointment.

Thank You so much for all your support. We love doing the Christmas appeal to help local families. We would like to say thank you to everyone who has donated to enable us to be able to offer this service. We hope you all have a lovely Christmas!
Christmas for many families in Derry can be a difficult time. WCD are collecting new toys for families who need them this year until 18th December. Those wanting to donate can pop into our Women’s Centre during our opening times Monday 9-5pm and Friday 9-1:30pm

Thanks to @GildernewColm for his support for carers at today’s @NIA_Communities. Unpaid caring has an enormously damaging impact on carer’s finances and Carer’s Allowance isn’t fit for purpose. The Carer’s Allowance Recognition Payment would lift thousands out of poverty.
Our Health & Social Care system would collapse without unpaid carers. Our carers face immense pressures every day with little or no support packages, impacting their lives. We must work together to put in place fair & equitable support packages for our invaluable #carers

To think that politicians will attempt to tell us that they care about "economic inactivity" - when their chronic inaction is at the very centre of it.
This is our inbox EVERY day. A few weeks ago we requested a 1-1 meeting with @paulgivan to represent your stories and share our data, solutions & the true reality of a melted parent in NI. The meeting was declined.

WOW! Over 200 women came to visit us at our event in the Guildhall. What a success all free services under one roof. Happy International Women's Day. Thank you to all the organisations that attended! Women Support Services @dcsdcouncil
@thewomenscen @dcsdcouncil Thanks for such a lovely morning folks!!
Now we're on to the launch of the research on the Impact of Brexit on Women in NI commissioned by the Equality Commiission and carried out by independent researchers from Newcastle University Dr Katherine A M Wright and Prof Ruth McAreavey. Introduced by Roisín Mallon from ECNI
Thanks @thewomenscen & @FootprintsWomen for coming to @WRC_NI & @CarersNI research launch on Women, Unpaid Care & Employment We know the huge value carers placed on the services/support provided by local Women’s Centres & carers groups - many seeing ⬆️ demand but ⬇️ funding
We are thrilled to be in Cyprus for The European Conference for Gender Budgeting! There’s a brilliant line-up of speakers for the first day, and we’re excited to get started.
I spoke in favour of an immediate ceasefire for Gaza today. The wholesale slaughter of innocent Palestinian men, women & children has no possible justification.
It was great to be at this event yesterday and hear about progress on the Strategy so many of us put so much time and work into. It's close to completion and sign off now, we hope - watch this space!
The First Minister and deputy First Minister have reaffirmed their commitment to ending violence against women and girls (EVAWG). They were joined by Junior Ministers as they met members of the EVAWG draft Strategic Framework Co-design Group to acknowledge their work.
Action plans are welcome, but there is no substitute for a proper Women’s Health Strategy with the funding and timelines attached to deal with all the inequalities women face when accessing care. Time to act- the Health Minister should commission one without delay.
Today, we called for a Childcare Strategy to be agreed within 100 days, along with urgent interventions now that can bring down costs for parents. We’ve spoken about progress on childcare for long enough. Now, we need to prioritise this issue and finally get it across the line.
We need positive discrimination in favour of our region to rebalance our economy at long last and bring the jobs and investment to Derry that are so badly needed. I spoke in the Assembly today about my proposals for legislation to finally address this issue once and for all.
Male life expectancy in DCSDC is 71.1 years. This is 6.2 years less than the LGD average. The male inequality gap has widened in Derry in recent years. People's health and their well being are closely linked; both are drivers for economic prosperity & social mobility.
Great news @thewomenscen Your brilliant work continues 👏👏👏
Thank you to all the women who attended our Ruby Anniversary AGM and helped us celebrate 40 years of working for women. Thank you to our Deputy Lord Mayor of Belfast, @AineGroogan for being our keynote speaker. Belfast City Hall will be lit up in our new brand colours tonight
“Child poverty is inherently attached to women’s poverty. This is because many of the jobs women do are chronically underpaid. We can’t tackle child poverty unless we too tackle the poverty women face.” @cdbirt
