It’s International Women’s Day, so let’s talk about the issues that really matter.
This month on Off the Hill, we’re focusing on the global struggles women and gender diverse people are facing.
There are many issues facing women and gender diverse people, in Canada and around the world: the gender wage gap; war raging on in Gaza and Ukraine; increased femicide; the attack on reproductive health; the likelihood of a Trump presidency; calls for justice for MMIWG2S; misleading and dangerous narratives about trans people from elected officials – and more.
Do companies, elected officials and decision makers really want to address any of these issues though? Or do they simply want to blithely #inspire their female and gender diverse workforce without any real expectation of change?
This month, join guests social entrepreneur pk mutch, rabble columnist Charlotte Dalwood and professor Nadia Abu-Zahra in discussion and analysis. Co-hosted by Robin Browne and Libby Davies.
Join us on March 20, 2024 at 4:30pm PT / 7:30pm ET. Register for your invitation today!
