Happy International Women’s Day - March 8, 2023
Nokee Kwe is translated from Anishinaabemowin or the Ojibwe language as “Working Woman.” Our non-profit employment and education centre was originally started in the late 1970s to help Indigenous Women find employment in London, the southwestern Ontario area of Canada. It has been open to everyone since the 1980s regardless of gender or race.
Nokee Kwe Board and Staff send their greetings to all women throughout the world on this International Women’s Day 2023!
The Government of Canada’s theme for International Women’s Day (IWD) 2023 is Every Woman Counts.
It’s a reminder that all women, from all ages and walks of life, have a place in every aspect of Canadian society, including in the economic, social and democratic spheres.
Let’s celebrate the successful women around us, reminding today’s youth and girls that their dream is within reach.
