AN empowering evening of spoken word, poetry and live music will be taking place this weekend to raise funds for Trafford Rape Crisis.

The Women Searching For Meaning event is a “celebration of women’s bravery and courage, as well as an exploration of what gives women strength and inspiration to overcome adversity”.

The Trafford Rape Crisis fundraiser will take place at The Eagle Inn, Collar Street, Salford, on Friday April 21, at 7.30pm.

Trafford Rape Crisis has collaborated with HM Prison Styal to share the work of women in prison.

The top three winners of the “Women’s Search For Meaning” writing competition within HM Prison Styal will have their work shared at the event.

There will be performances by Afshan D’souza-Lodhi, Cheryl Martin, IAMDDB, Josephine Oniyama and Keisha Thompson.

All proceeds will go to Trafford Rape Crisis.
