Join us for an inspiring and interactive event: International Women’s Day 2025: March Forward, where we celebrate the voices, experiences, and contributions of migrant women. This is more than just an event—it’s a space to connect, reflect, and take action toward a more inclusive and equitable future.

Program Highlights

Keynote Address – Dr. Anh Nguyen Austin

We are honoured to kick off March Forward with an inspiring keynote from Dr. Anh Nguyen Austen, a distinguished refugee and migrant scholar and advocate for diversity and inclusion. She will share with us the latest research about PMW and the economic and social value of lived experience and connection towards gender equity. Her insights will challenge perspectives, ignite meaningful conversations, and empower us to take bold steps forward.

Table Discussion Session – Your Voice Matters!

Following the keynote, we will shift the focus to you. Through guided table discussions, you’ll have the opportunity to share your thoughts, experiences, and ideas on how to value and grow connections that contribute to shaping a more inclusive world.

A community facilitator will lead each table, creating a safe and engaging space for meaningful dialogue. We want to hear from you—your voice matters, your perspective is valued, and your insights will help drive change. Let’s March Forward together—one conversation, one idea, one action at a time.

Come ready to be inspired, connect with like-minded changemakers, and leave with a renewed sense of purpose!
