Halton Women's Place Heather Colquhoun, Board Chair, Halton Women's Place & Halton Women’s Place i+ Heath | joined the Halton Women’s Place Board of Directors in 2014 looking not only to give back to the community | live in, but also to be a part of an organization that aligned with my personal values. With my daughter and nieces especially in mind, | am passionate about this year’s IWD theme of #EmbraceEquity. Embracing equity means building inclusive workplaces and communities where everyone is invited to contribute. It means challenging inequity, opening new opportunities, and it also means celebrating women’s achievements. Embracing equity is intersectional and reminds us that everyone, of all genders, faiths, cultures have a role to play in a better world, Because when we all get involved in creating a more just and inclusive society, there won't be room in that future for domestic violence. On this International Women’s Day, | am proud to be an ambassador with Halton Women’s Place. The HWP staff are already working toward that future free from violence, especially rough their sector leadership in two innovative and life- changing programs: Public Education and Transitional Housing. Through these programs, HWP bookends the core services of safe shelter programming and crisis intervention with prevention through public education to equip the next generation to stop the cycle of violence and with post-shelter support through transitional housing. | look forward to continued progress towards a world without violence against women.
