International Women’s Day events going virtual for 2021
This year’s International Women’s Day in central Alberta is going virtual.
Two days worth of events are happening March 13 and 14 and will be hosted by Ubuntu-Mobilizing Central Alberta. International Women’s Day is March 8, however for scheduling purposes, Ubuntu pushed its Women’s Day events back a week.
This year’s theme is #ChooseToChallenge, which Ubuntu Youth Council member Angie Cuero says emphasizes the importance and power individuals have to make change.
“If participants choose to challenge gender biases and inequality, we will see the difference. Individual action with a common cause will create a strong collective that will incite meaningful change,” says Cuero.
