March 8^th marks International Women’s Day.

 

This year’s theme is “Break the Bias” and it encourages everyone to work toward a gender-equal world that is diverse and inclusive.

 

In honor of the day, the  YWCA Thompson has brought back their “She Inspires Me” campaign, as well.  

 

Here Nina Cordell with the YWCA explains how it works.

 

“We will take messages from people, anybody in the community, from February 23^rd to March 4^th. All they have to do is tell us how a woman or girl has inspired them. On March 8^th, which is actually International Women’s Day, that’s when we’ll be doing the deliveries.”

 

Messages can be submitted to Cordell at 204-778-1209 or email womens programs at YWCA DOT com by this Friday.

 

Listen to Thompson Today this afternoon at 12:40 and 5:10 for details about International Women’s Day.
