SHE Internationella kvinnodagen på UKK

About the Event

SHE is a festival day and meeting place where all women’s struggle, art, knowledge and culture take place – in and around a boxing ring at UKK!

Together with Bodil Frick, the Uppsala-based former Swedish Thai boxing champion, we invite you to a program filled with exciting, fun and important activities – by, with and about women.

Bodil Frick is a strong force in Uppsala, who is passionate about empowering young girls through training, self-esteem and community.

SHE is for those who want to be inspired, challenged, experience and celebrate all women – together.
Bring a friend, stay all day or drop in.

Everyone is welcome!
