Celebrate women’s rights and gender equality at these panels, parties, concerts and more
International Women's Day is a day to thank the women in your life for everything they do. It's also a day to celebrate all our historic achievements and, most importantly, to remind everyone there's still a lot more work to be done.
Even with misogynists trying to drag us down, women have many achievements to celebrate. There was closing that sex doll brothel that let men live out their darkest fantasies, and it took three years to shut down a misogynistic newspaper spewing hatred against women and Jewish people. Of course, Doug Ford's government immediately rolled back the progressive new sex-ed curriculum – stripping out references to consent, gender identity and same-sex relationships. Nonetheless, women rallied together in freezing temperatures for the Toronto Women's March in January, proving nothing can stand in the way of equal rights. So grab your girl gang and head to these inclusive events for women and allies. Maybe bring Brad and Chad – they could learn a thing or two.
