Empowering women, changing futures: Organizations making a difference

International Women's Day. Four women sitting together and smiling.

This year's International Women’s Day theme, “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.” reminds us that real progress means ensuring no one is left behind.

We are celebrating organizations right here in Toronto that are leading this work by supporting immigrant women, creating pathways to education and employment, empowering youth and standing up for reproductive right and more.

We encourage you to donate, volunteer and amplify their work. When we support women and girls, we create a stronger, more equitable future for all. Get to know these organizations:
