Once again, things will look a little different this year, but we are still very excited to come together to celebrate the achievements of women in our community and add our voice to the call for greater gender equity in our society.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme is #BreakTheBias. We are ask­ing the com­mu­ni­ty to imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality.

This online event will live-pre­mière on YouTube, as well as on Facebook. The links will be available here and at www.aidsnetwork.ca closer to the date of the event.

International Women’s Day 2021:

Last year, our IWD event’s focus was #ChooseToChallenge.

Every year we come together to celebrate International Women’s Day in March. This year, things look a little different, but we are still very excited to come together to celebrate the achievements of women in our community, and add our voice to the call for greater gender equity in our society.

This years International Women’s Day theme is #ChooseToChallenge. A challenged world is an alert world. And from challenge comes change. We are very excited to come together with you and celebrate women’s achievement, raise awareness against bias, and take action for equality.
