On March 8, 2024, we celebrated International Women’s Day with partners from ENGAGE: Women’s Empowerment and Active Citizenship.

ENGAGE! is a five-year initiative co-designed by Coady Institute and five partner organizations:

• Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) in India;
• Organization for Women in Self Employment (WISE) in Ethiopia;
• Gender Training Institute (GTI) of the Tanzania Gender Networking Programme (TGNP);
• Christian Commission for Development (CCDB) in Bangladesh; and
• Centre Haïtien du Leadership et de l’Excellence (CLE) in Haiti.

With the support of Global Affairs Canada, these partner organizations are working to advance gender equality and poverty reduction by enhancing women’s capacity to participate in the social and economic life of their communities.

On International Women’s Day we learned how each organization is ‘investing in women’ through education, advocacy, social entrepreneurship, and more.
