Each year International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. Across the world, governments, charities, educational institutions, women’s groups, corporations and the media celebrate the achievements of women. Over the last 20 years, ICWA celebrates IWD and have had the honour of hosting women leaders, from different walks of life, to address our members and guests at our IWD banquet to mark the achievements of women and to face the emerging challenges that confront women throughout the globe. In past years, key note presenters have included: Honourable Ann McLellan, Honourable Flora McDonald, Honourable Rachel Notley, author, Nelofer Pazira, Senator Mobina Jaffer and Minister Christina Gray.

Those women who have participated in our past IWD events have played the dual role of educating and inspiring our members, which include primarily Alberta based immigrant and also non-immigrant women as well as the advocates, activists, professionals and academics who support them and are engaged in struggles to promote gender justice and end violence against women at all levels, Our record of activities speaks to the seriousness with which ICWA has involved itself in community based struggles to respond to the needs of women in our Edmonton community (and beyond) facing violence, discrimination or other structural barriers that many new immigrant women to Canada experience on a daily basis
