International Women’s Day
On International Women’s Day, marked annually on March 8, Carleton is celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women across the university. Women continue to experience discrimination based on their gender and intersecting identities, which is exacerbated for racialized women, Indigenous women, women with disabilities, trans women and those with marginalized gender identities.
