COLLECTIVELY WE CAN #Accelerate Action FOR GENDER EQUALITY

 This year’s #InspireInclusion aim of the IWD 2025 campaign on March 8th, was to emphasize the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality.

They are calling for increasing the momentum and emphasizing urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases women still face, both personally and professionally here in the USA, and the world.

March is Women in History Month and we at Veritext, feel that looking back and honoring those women who took a stand with their actions and voices, laid down the foundations of inclusion and equality today.

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH


ABOUT WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

In the United States, March is designated Women’s History Month by presidential proclamation and commemorates and encourages the study, observance, and celebration of the vital role of women in American history.

Women’s History Month began in 1978 as a local Women’s History Week celebration in Santa Rosa, California. The organizers selected the week of March 8 to correspond with International Women’s Day. In 1980, a consortium of women’s groups and historians—led by the National Women’s History Project (now the National Women’s History Alliance)—successfully lobbied for national recognition. In February 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8th, 1980 as National Women’s History Week. It wasn’t until 1995 that proclamations designated the entire month of March as Women’s History Month.  Source

The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution, and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum have joined in commemorating and encouraging the study, observance, and celebration of the vital role of women in American history.  You can see their contributions here.

WOMEN’S DAY IN CANADA


WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH | CANADA

In 1992, the Government of Canada designated October as Women’s History Month, marking the beginning of an annual celebration of the outstanding achievements of women and girls throughout Canada’s history.

This year’s theme, Women at Work: Economic Growth Past, Present and Future, highlights the significant contributions women have made to the workforce throughout history, and the critical role they continue to play in driving economic innovation and progress that has benefited Canada as a whole.

At this link, you can see a timeline of notable moments in Canadian History in their journey for gender equality, including 1929 when women were finally declared ‘persons.’

This link takes you to an overview of the ‘trailblazers’ of Canada.  One not mentioned is Georgiana Alexandrina Fraser, who was Canada’s first female journalistic stenographer.  She blazed a trail by inspiring and teaching more young women to do the same, and the struggle of two of them is described in this Maclean’s article from 1954:

“SEVEN years ago, two energetic but penniless young women freshly out of His Majesty’s services were suddenly faced with the sobering [a]nd dismaying realization that they were once [a]gain living in a man’s world.
Ethel Zatyko and Rena Pettypiece had taken a twelve-month course in the hope of becoming court stenographers. They decided to pursue their chosen vocation in Alberta, which they regarded as a province of oil booms and millionaires. They wrote letters of application to court officials. But when the answers came, their hopes were dashed: the RCAF might recruit women wireless operators, but Alberta doesn’t allow women court reporters.
The girls were stunned and indignant, but never tearful.
They decided to go to Alberta anyway and show what women can do.”
