TAPA recognizes the achievements of strong and brilliant women all over the world. The Canadian Government’s theme for International Women’s Day 2023 (IWD) is Every Woman Counts and the IWD campaign theme is #EmbraceEquity.
Today is a reminder of the accomplishments of women everywhere in the fight towards gender equity and a time to highlight the work that still needs to be done. Let’s celebrate these achievements and continue to lead our sector towards equitable action.
There are many activities and events taking place in recognition of IWD. TAPA has curated some resources that offer a range of ways to support and engage in IWD. Please scroll down for ways you can participate in International Women’s Day 2023:
