SUMMARY:Pathways to Empowerment: A Community Forum on Removing Barriers to Gender Equality
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This event has been postponed. Stay tuned for an updated date. \n  \nGender equality isn’t achieved through awareness alone — it requires honest conversation\, shared learning\, and collective action. \nPathways to Empowerment is an interactive community forum bringing together local subject matter experts\, advocates\, and community members to explore the real barriers women and gender-diverse people continue to face — and how we can work together to remove them. \nAligned with the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) 2026 global theme focused on barriers to justice for women and girls\, this evening will move beyond panels and presentations into meaningful dialogue\, practical learning\, and connection. \nParticipants will engage in two small-group “mini-workshops” led by experienced practitioners across key areas including: \n\nFinancial empowerment and security\nLegal access and systems navigation\nAccess to justice for Indigenous women and racialized communities\nPersonal agency\, leadership\, and navigating change\n\nThrough guided conversation and shared problem-solving\, participants will deepen their understanding of systemic barriers\, discover community resources\, build new relationships\, and leave with practical insights they can apply personally and within their communities. \nWhether you are navigating these barriers yourself\, supporting others\, or passionate about advancing gender equity\, this forum offers a welcoming space to learn\, connect\, and contribute. \nJoin us to strengthen collective knowledge\, amplify community voices\, and help shape pathways toward a more just and equitable future.  \nGet your tickets here!

Their support is instrumental in making this forum possible and in advancing important conversations around access to justice\, equity\, and empowerment for women and gender-diverse people. \nWe are grateful for W.O.R.K.’s partnership and their continued commitment to community-led advocacy and education.
