A MUSIC festival aimed at empowering young women drew in the crowds at Modern Art Oxford in Pembroke Street.
About 150 people attended the second Womanity Festival, which featured talks from eight guests including tattoo artist Toni Le Busque, who spoke via videolink live from Australia.
The event coincided with International Women’s Day on Sunday, which celebrates the achievements of women while calling for equality between all sexes.

The St Clement’s-based Young Women’s Music Project holds weekly workshops attracting women from across the county.
