Every year on or around March 8, millions of women and men around the world celebrate International Women's Day. This day is an ideal opportunity to reflect on the progress made to advance women's equality, to assess the challenges facing women in contemporary society and to consider future steps to enhance women's quality of life and, of course, to celebrate the gains made.


Women on all continents often divided by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences come together to celebrate International Women's Day. It is a celebration of ordinary women as makers of history. Rallies, marches, fairs, receptions, shows, films and debates are held around the world to celebrate the achievements for women's equality.  

Women of all ages come together to share their stories, their accomplishments, and inspiration for whatever comes next.  

Please join us on Saturday, March 6 (9 a.m. - noon) at the Lethbridge Centre for the 2010 International Women's Day celebration.  Call the YWCA Lethbridge and District (403 329--0088) to register.  $10 includes lunch.
