We are thrilled to invite you to join our annual International Women’s Day celebrations in Nogojiwanong/Peterborough! This year's theme, "Accelerate Action," calls on us to unite in solidarity—both globally and locally—to challenge the current rate of progress toward gender equality. 

We have two fantastic, free community events planned for Saturday, March 8th: 
a Rally/March and a Community Event.

Come and be a part of this important movement. 
Together, we can accelerate action and make a difference.

We hope to see YOU on November 13th and let's create welcoming spaces for everyone!

KWIC Advancing and Amplifying Gender Equality (SDG 5) forum in 2022, along with the 2023 workshops, highlighted the community's strong desire for deeper engagement on gender equality issues. In response to this evident need, KWIC is excited to introduce Community Connections: Sharing the Path for Gender Equality in 2024.We aim to foster meaningful dialogue on gender equality, while integrating interactive and enriching activities. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about key and local gender equality topics, as well as take part in hands-on experiences such as art creation, communal meals, and outdoor gatherings. These activities are designed not only to spark conversation, but also to build connections through shared experiences. The first of these connections, at Dis-O, will set the stage through an art workshop. This activity invites community members to explore and express their perspectives through various artistic mediums and create a vibrant and collaborative space for gender equality dialogue and reflection.
