The Diamond Tri is an event that has something for everyone!
The event is held at Eton Dorney (the 2012 Olympic Rowing venue) which I'm told is hands down the best Tri venue in the London area.
WOMANKIND
Womankind Worldwide is an international women’s human rights charity working to help women transform their lives in Africa, Asia and Latin America. They partner with women’s rights organisations who are tackling the day to day issues that affect women’s lives and who are creating impact. Together with their partners, Womankind helps women achieve change:
1. We help courageous individuals to challenge violence and discriminationIn some countries, this could involve accompanying a girl to a village meeting so she can tell women and men that it is now against the law for a girl to be forced to marry a man after he has raped her, and encourage girls to see they do have a choice.
2. We help women come togetherIn many different ways, we help women join together, often for the first time, to talk about what they want to change, and then we help them achieve it. This could involve providing training in how to resolve conflicts, or in leadership skills, so women are better able to challenge violence and speak up for better healthcare or education.
3. We help women claim their rights and improve their livesWe might provide legal help to enable a woman to obtain a divorce from a man who beats her, or work with the police to encourage them to help women rather than return them to their husbands
