3/27 - 4/1: Reflections from Women's History Month

As March comes to a close so does Women’s History Month. It’s a time to reflect on the women that have influenced not only this country’s history but perhaps your own life.

The first Women’s History Day was in February 1909 when it commemorated the one year anniversary of 15,000 garment workers marching through lower Manhattan, protesting their working conditions. In the 100 plus years there have been many women along the way fighting for freedom and better conditions. Each year has a theme and 2023 Women's History Month theme is Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories.

You may have participated in an activity, gone to an exhibition or perhaps your work celebrated in some way. Hearing an acknowledging these stories is crucial for our future as we need to honor the past, have empathy and use the lessons learnt and won to create a better future ahead for the upcoming generations.

We encourage our community to spend time listening, reading & telling their own stories!
