Sophia's Assembly, October 2018

Sophia’s Assembly
Bringing Women Together for Positive Change

Essex Cultural Diversity Project hosted a special event for women, inspired by Princess Sophia Duleep Singh: Suffragette, women’s rights campaigner and daughter of the last Maharajah of the Punjab who lived in East Anglia.

Around 70 women came along to find out more about this remarkable women and her role in the history of women’s empowerment, to meet and talk to others over delicious curry, hosted by the Essex Multicultural Activities Network. There were also three "conversations" about issues still effecting women today, especially those from South Asian backgrounds: what brings us together, what holds us back and how can we generate change and move forward together?

The day was hosted by Seema Anand, mythologist and storyteller specialising in women’s narratives, who welcomed a number of special guest speakers, including Rahila Gupta, writer, activist and longstanding member of Southall Black Sisters and a patron of Peace in Kurdistan; Vicky Ford, the first female MP for Chelmsford and is a passionate advocate of women’s voices in politics and UK Democracy; Smita Tharoor, thought leader on the Unconscious Bias, motivational speaker and trainer; and Amy Cotterill and Pippa Smith from Snapping the Stiletto, a project that explores museum collections to discover untold stories of strong women.

We’ll also be discussing the power of community and what brings us together with Rizwana Siddiqui from Essex Multicultural Activities Network in Chelmsford, Nirmal Gupta founder of Essex Asian Women’s Association in Southend, and Vibha Osbon from Colchester Multi-Ethnic Forum and organiser of the Colchester Festival of Rice & Spice.
