Beginning in 1975 during the International Women’s Year, March 8 is celebrated annually around the world as International Women’s Day.
This day is a way to celebrate the achievements of women, girls and gender diverse peoples as well as a call to action for gender equality.
The Circumpolar Council Canada and Pauktuutit, Inuit Women’s Canada were honoring International Women’s Day by joining together to learn, collaborate and celebrate a couple days ago.
Pauktuutit delivered a workshop this week to Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC)
Staff to ensure the different needs and social experiences of Inuit women, girls and gender diverse Inuit are reflected in all of ICC Canada’s work, while respecting the unique characteristics of Inuit culture, values, and principals.
Incorporating an Inuit-Specific Gender- based Analysis Plus (GBA) framework is essential to better understand the many factors that shaped the lived reality of Inuit living both within and outside of Inuit Nunaat.
Both groups look forward to their organizations continuing to work closely together to advance equality for Inuit women, girls and gender diverse Inuit.
