International Women’s Day 2020: Creating a more gender equitable world

This Sunday is International Women’s Day. The theme for 2020 is “Each for Equal,” which is all about the concept of ‘collective individualism’ and how we each have a role to play in creating a more gender equitable world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So we decided to ask a member from each team here at YWCA Edmonton to share with us how they are working to make our community a more equitable place.

Read our team’s responses below and please join us at one of the many International Women’s Day celebrations happening across our city this month.
