The Women's Information Group is an umbrella organisation
which brings together
women’s groups throughout Greater Belfast and the surrounding towns.
It was formed in 1980 because it was felt that women
from different communities needed an opportunity to meet each other and
exchange information
so that they would feel better about their work, their interests, and their
lives in their own neighbourhoods
Information is the key ingredient for any individual or
group in the process of gaining confidence, of getting things done or simply
being heard. It is a source of power and especially for women who are so
often isolated in their homes where information is much harder to require.

-
To help meet the needs of women
attending Information Day and supporting their influence at local level.
-
To broaden
women's understanding of themselves within the whole community so benefiting
them in a political sense from contact with other religions and cultures.
-
To encourage
confidence in their ability to access information giving a sense of ownership
over their lives and also their families and community.
