Holding a strong belief in social justice, I am inspired by the IIWR-MB's work against the gender inequality that persists in our city, country and world.
As an IIWR board member, I actively participate in decision making in the struggle for women's advocacy, equality and empowerment, and, I can encourage more inclusive participation in an increasingly diverse Province of Manitoba.
The 2014 Local to Global Event made the link between rights for women and girls in Afghanistan and rights for Indigenous Canadian women. Giving voice as a First Nations woman, powerful and evocative poet Katherena Vermette shared her work. Robert Deardon photo.
As a co-founder and Board director, I invest in IIWR-MB as the community-based sister organization to bridge the academic/community distance and give students the chance to engage locally and globally - because women deserve to live their rights, wherever they are!

IIWR-MB is important to me because, as a young girl I was told that I could become whatever I wished. Over the years I learned that this is not the case. I add my voice to this diverse group of women to combat gender inequality and discrimination.
