Yesterday, March 7th, Dr. Indrani Margolin of UNBC’s school of Social Work, joined colleague and Professor Emeritus Dr. Dawn Hemingway, alongside the Northern Women’s Centre Executive Director and Masters student Tanvi Guhagarkar in CFURadio’s studios for an International Women’s Day panel.
We touch on challenges facing women & people in Prince George, BC’s North, and ultimately everywhere. Our guests share how they persevere, inside and outside of their work with FIRE (Feminist Institute for Research and Evaluation), to address these challenges. A few items, of many mentioned, keep these leaders pursuing equity in our region: the shared knowledge of significant milestones achieved along the way such as the accomplishments of the abortion caravan, mutual support, and the awareness that there is still a long way to go.
Take a moment to be inspired by these leaders in our community.
IWD also precedes Social Work Week, which includes our Mayor announcing a proclamation in front of the downtown Intersect building, inclusion centred events on March 19th, 6pm, in UNBC’s Senate Chambers, and March 28th, 2pm, at St. Michael’s Church.
