International Women’s Day 2022
women inspiring women
The Government of Canada’s theme for International Women’s Day (IWD) 2022 is Women Inspiring Women.
It celebrates all the women and girls who inspire us by demonstrating leadership in the choices they make in their day-to-day lives to contribute to the social, economic, cultural, and political spheres.
In Canada, unlike in many other countries, women are free to study and be leaders in the field they choose, care and provide for their family, express who they are, and fight for their beliefs.
