Description
Photograph of the Committee for Domestic Workers' and Caregivers' Rights participating in the International Women's Day parade which took place in Vancouver, British Columbia (B.C.).
Established in 1992, the Committee for Domestic Workers' and Caregivers' Rights (CDWCR) is a community-based, non-profit organization that provides assistance to foreign care workers in seeking improvements to their employment conditions and immigration status. CDWCR advocates for foreign care workers and their families to be granted landed status upon arrival in Canada. CDWCR's mission is shaped by the belief that foreign care workers deserve respect and recognition for the valuable services they provide and their important contributions to the betterment of Canadian society.
International Women's Day (IWD) is a specific day dedicated to the advancement of women worldwide; celebrated annually on March 8, to honor the achievements of women across all aspects of life – social, economic, cultural, and political – while also advocating for gender equality. Originating from labor movements in the early 20th century, IWD has evolved into a globally recognized occasion marked by events, discussions, and initiatives advocating for inclusivity and equity. IWD was marked for the first time in 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, on March 19, with more than one million women and men attending rallies.
