March 8 is International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day is a day to celebrate women’s stories, achievements and breakthroughs. But growing threats to gender equality globally are making women’s rights and freedoms increasingly fragile.
In today’s climate, Canadian women need to come together to reflect, discuss, act and advocate for progress. At our 2025 DIVERSEcity x Minerva Women’s Leadership Forum on March 6, 2025, we made space for this critical dialogue through panel discussions, networking and group activities.
At the event, we also captured advice from a few of the incredible women leaders in attendance, asking them their thoughts on what women can do to thrive despite the ongoing challenges today. Watch our video featuring:
- Christie Sparklingeyes, Talent Acquisition Manager, Castlemain, one of this year’s panel speakers
- Matilda Williams-Obiajunwa, Executive Director, Sisters in Canada Wellness Society, one of our panelists last year
- Tina Strehlke, CEO, Minerva BC
- Neelam Sahota, CEO, DIVERSEcity
This International Women’s Day, let’s work together to #AccelerateAction and help each other grow, lead and bloom!
