Dear all,

As you may know, #OpenGovWeek will run from 11 - 17 March. It is an opportunity for open government doers, leaders, and thinkers from around the world to come together to share ideas, discuss solutions, and commit to new levels of citizen participation in government.

In the UK this year, there are three events being organised by the Government. You are invited to participate and join the events with speakers, provide feedback and network.

- **Tues 12 March: Femenist Open Government Day** (London)  
How can open government help with accelerating gender equality and closing critical gaps in information, access, and participation?
