The Canadian Women Economists Committee (CWEC/CFÉC) have a number of events planned over the next few months and we hope you can join us. All are welcome!
- International Women’s Day Seminar: On March 8th at 2-3:30PM Eastern. Dr. Soodeh Saberian will present “Iranian Women in the Year 2023: The Struggle for Equal Rights.”
Women in Iran confront an array of legal and social barriers, restricting not only their lives but also their livelihoods, and contributing to starkly unequal economic outcomes. To help, we must first learn. Join us to hear more about the discriminatory laws, policies, and practices facing Iranian women in their daily lives and how we can aid those working towards a more equitable society. #EmbraceEquity.
A poster is attached. Please circulate and post in your department.
