To celebrate Canada’s rich diversity and multiculturalism, Skills for Change organized the national Diverse Women of Canada: Stories of Resilience event on 9 March 2021 as a testament to the resilience of racialized women and to celebrate racialized newcomer, immigrant and refugee women.
The virtual event supported by the Government of Canada brought together 20 women from diverse backgrounds, across ten provinces of Canada to acknowledge their remarkable journeys. On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, the national event was held to promote intercultural understanding of racialized women while celebrating their unique culture and heritage.
