International Women’s Day (IWD) (Tuesday, March 8) is an opportunity to recognize the social, cultural, economic and political achievements of women in our community and around the world. It’s also a time to raise awareness of the progress made towards achieving gender equality, and the work that remains to be done.
The United Nations IWD 2022 theme, Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow, reflects the contribution of women and girls who are change-makers for climate adaptation and sustainability initiatives around the world.
This year, Ontario Tech will celebrate the significant contributions and perseverance of women in a variety of ways, including virtual programs and events.
