The Canadian theme for this year’s International Women’s Week is “She’s on a Role!”
Many Canadian women, from athletes to social activists, have accomplished great things in their community, country and around the world.
Some of these women receive little recognition for their efforts, yet provide shining examples for Canadians and Canadian youth in particular to follow their dreams, no matter what barriers and opposition they may face.
This year’s theme encourages Canadians to take a closer look at what has been accomplished to promote gender equality and build Canada into the country it is today, as well as celebrating the many women who continue to work towards these goals.
