Nine retro Sunderland photos from International Women's Day celebrations over the years
It is International Women’s Day – a day which has seen some great events across Wearside and County Durham over the years.
You were pampered in Thorney Close in 2013, enjoyed Bollywood dancing in Peterlee in 2016 and had a go at art in Murton in 2005.
And you had fun on a karaoke bus in Seaham in 2007.
But that’s just the start. We have more memories of International Women’s Day in a photo collection from the Sunderland Echo archives.
Take a look.
