We're being urged to nominate women who've inspired us during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Women's Refuge is holding its annual awards ceremony later this year.

Anyone in Jersey can nominate someone they feel deserves recognition.

"We are seeking nominations for women in Jersey who have inspired others through their self-less achievements, commitment and personality to help others for the greater good," Marine Oliviera, Jersey Women’s Refuge.

The 2021 Inspirational Woman of the Year Award is in partnership with Soroptimist International Jersey, who originally helped launch the Jersey Women’s Refuge in 1988.
