International Women’s Day

A day to promote equity, celebrate leadership and inspire change in New Brunswick.

Overview

International Women’s Day (IWD) is observed globally on March 8.

In New Brunswick, International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate the economic, political, and social achievements of women - past, present, and future - while renewing our commitment to promoting gender equity.

Each year, we highlight incredible gender equality champions through our VIVE Awards and amplify student voices through our IWD Student Contest.
