INDIGENOUS JUSTICE! CLIMATE & ECONOMIC JUSTICE! END TO VIOLENCE, END TO WAR!
International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8 is a day dedicated to honouring and celebrating women’s achievements throughout history and to the ongoing efforts toward achieving equality for women in all equity-seeking groups.
IWD was started by working women to call attention to poor pay and working conditions. It grew, and today it is a day to recognize the gains we have made and recommit to action to eliminate the barriers that still exist.
Unifor is encouraging members to use this IWD to call for ratification of International Labour Organization Convention 190 for the elimination of harassment and violence in the world of work.
On
Sunday, March 8th, please join Unifor sisters, activists and allies in Toronto as we march in recognition of
International Women’s Day. (
Please note the Toronto march will be held on Sunday this year.)
