International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the achievements of women and a call to action to accelerate gender equality. This year, the theme is #GiveToGain.
Across MB, we believe that collective action is what makes a real difference. As Gloria Steinem once said, the story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to everyone who cares about human rights. When we give our time and effort, we all gain a more inclusive world.
Help Us Build a Gender Equal World
Imagine a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. We can work toward this in Winnipeg by valuing and celebrating our differences. Whether you are mentoring, helping at a local organization, or supporting a women-focused cause, your contribution is vital.
