International Women’s Day

Webinar – Rise up for Gender Justice
The CLC will also be hosting a live webinar connected to this campaign on March 18 at 9:30 a.m. PT: Union Women Rise Up for Gender Justice!
We are excited to share that this webinar will be simultaneously live casted as part of the NGO CSW Forum, within the context of the 69th Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. This is a unique opportunity for our activists to tune in and learn more about how Canadian trade union women are bringing stories about women’s rights and gender justice from our labour movement to the world stage. This will include highlighting our work towards advancements on women’s leadership, winning better wages, securing decent working conditions, and mobilizing towards a fairer, more just, and equitable society.
Registration is now open for this webinar, use the following link and please share it widely within your networks:
