The Lesbian and Gay Foundation in Manchester will be hosting Womens’ Pride, an event forming part of the Manchester Pride Fringe, at Number 5, Richmond Street, Manchester M1 3HF.

Tell LGF which women you think have made a significant contribution to the LGBT rights movement in the last 100 years?

The event will celebrate the significant but over-looked role all women have played throughout the history of the LGBT rights movement and explore how women can continue to contribute positively towards this movement. LGF’s mission is: Ending Homophobia, Empowering People.
