Inspirational women across Hartlepool are to be recognised to help celebrate International Women’s Day.
Jill Mortimer is looking for nominations from the public to find Hartlepool’s most inspirational women to give recognition and thank them for everything they do.
International Womens Day takes place on Friday 8 March. This years theme is 'inspiring inclusion', which could be calling out discrimination, teaching the next generation, or paving the way to achieve gender parity.
And whether they are inspiring children or adults, Jill says we need to appreciate all the mothers, daughters, sisters and friends in our lives.
Jill Mortimer MP said,
“I know there are thousands of wonderful women across Hartlepool who are inspiring others every single day.
“That could be through their jobs, volunteering, charity work or just by the way their live their lives and I think it’s time they were recognised more for the things they do.
“The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is all about inspiring inclusion and I want to hear about and meet women here who are doing just that.
“I want people to nominate women who are inspiring others so we can help give them then recognition they deserve as a token of our appreciation for what they are doing.
“As a Conservative and a member of a party that has made three women Prime Minister, we have always supported and backed inspirational women and I want to ensure we continue to do so.”
To nominate an inspiration woman in Hartlepool please email jill.mortimer.mp@parliament.uk and say why they are making a positive difference to those people around them.
