International Women's Day in Lyon
As part of the Consulate General of Ireland's International Women's Day celebrations, we paid tribute to the brilliant life and tragic death of author and journalist Lyra McKee with a screening of Alison Millar's admirable documentary, Lyra.
The screening was followed by a discussion on the role of women in journalism with Iranian cartoonist Sana Hosseinpour and French ex-journalist Marie-Anne Muller.
In addition, to mark International Women's Day and the upcoming Olympics in France, we asked Hannah Craig, Nora Stapleton, Angélina Lanza, Paoline Salagnac, Anna Caplice, Garance Merle, Lyna Abdallah, and Julie Nublat-Faure, 8 brilliant Irish and French sportswomen, why sport is important for women and girls.
