Celebrating Women's Activism: CUPE Stands Strong on International Women’s Day

CUPE proudly stands in solidarity with women worldwide this International Women’s Day (March 8th), recognizing their vital role in union activism.

From the bargaining table to political actions and picket lines, women within CUPE exhibit strong leadership, championing gender justice, fair wages, and better working conditions. Despite progress, challenges persist, with women, particularly those who are young, disabled, Black, Indigenous, or trans, facing higher rates of violence and harassment. CUPE is committed to ending gender-based violence and dismantling all forms of oppression.

Join us in taking action, implementing anti-racism strategies, and supporting campaigns for justice. For resources and ways to get involved,
