The Mitchellake Group wishes to celebrate all the empowered women in our circle and around the world this International Women’s Day 2020.

Clara Zetkin, a German revolutionary proposed at the 1910 International Social Women’s Conference, for 8th March to be honoured as a day annually in memory of working women. The day has since, been celebrated every year as International Women’s Day or International Working Women’s Day.

Today, as we celebrate the 110th Women’s Day, MitchelLake would like to specially recognise all the powerful and inspirational women that we have had the privilege to work with.
