2025 saw WRN hold our first ever Women’s festival in Derby.  Organised by local WRN members in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, it attracted a large audience from across the UK.  

The Festival theme was Celebrating Grassroots Activism and we welcomed speakers and guests from England, Ireland , Scotland and Wales to give presentations on their local activities and tactics. 

Sorcha Nic Lochlainn is a Director of and Sports Spokeswoman for "The Countess Didn't Fight for This" a voluntary, non-partisan group - with members from all corners of Ireland - dedicated to defending women's rights and child safeguarding.  Sorcha explained how the group became established in Ireland.
