|
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.
