Love and Justice
On Wednesday 10th March, 2010, One Just World became a platform in which people could come together and explore ways to overcome some of the challenges we face in achieving the Millennium Development Goal of gender equality and empowering women before 2015.

In particular, a big thank you goes out to the artists who generously donated their time and talents, making the event not only one to engage the community on key contemporary development issues, but also an entertaining celebration of International Womens’ Day.
