We are excited to celebrate International Women’s Day this year with the launch of our brand new website! Over a year ago, YOU helped us win 3rd place in TBK Creative’s Website Charity Challenge. Today, we have a brand new website thanks to everyone in our community who voted for us in this contest.
Our new website brings many changes to the way we can communicate with you. Here are some of the highlights:
– Our blog now appears on our homepage
– An interactive calendar listing important social justice and fundraising dates
– Feminist Twitter Guide so you can keep up with all the latest feminist news
– Social Media Integration
– Updated content, including survivor stories
We invited you to browse our new site and leave your feedback in the comments below!
(Happy International Women’s Day from everyone at Nellie’s)
Today, we are also officially launching our latest position paper on Accessibility: Women with Disabilities and Deaf Women. This paper, written by Nellie’s Social Justice Committee, focuses on the societal perceptions and personal biases about Disabilites, including the impacts of ableism on various communities such as immigrant and newcomer women, Aboriginal women and women of colour. The paper is launching in conjunction with the second cycle of our “Women on the Move Support Group.” The full position paper can be found here.
On International Women’s Day, we would like to say thank-you to everyone who supports our work to create new beginnings for women and children leaving situations of violence, poverty and homelessness. We couldn’t do this work without you! Happy International Women’s Day!
