March is Womens’ History Month
IFPTE Profiles Our Women Leaders
International Women’s Day is celebrated around the world every year on March 8.
Across Canada and the United States, women are organizing in their unions, workplaces, and communities to demand change. International Women’s Day is about recognizing our collective victories and preparing for the coming challenges in the ongoing fight for women’s rights and gender equity.
Within IFPTE, countless women are leading the fight. Every day, they are problem solving and advocating for improvements that lift us all up. Their efforts add to the spectrum of women that make our labor movement strong.
During the month of March when Women’s History Month is observed, IFPTE will highlight some of these incredible women making history in our union. “We’re proud of the accomplishments achieved by IFPTE women, and it’s important to celebrate our trailblazers who work tirelessly to drive progress that make a difference for working people,” says IFPTE Secretary-Treasurer Gay Henson.

If you know a woman in your IFPTE Local that should be added to our Women Making History profiles, please send us a photo and short bio of the individual you wish to nominate to womensnetwork@ifpte.org.
Happy Womens’ History Month!
