Women's Centres Connect
The collective voice of Women’s Centres in Nova Scotia

 
January 31, 2025

February is a month rich in opportunities to champion vital causes and celebrate progress. From raising awareness on the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation to recognizing the achievements of women and girls in science and highlighting sexual and reproductive health, each day invites us to foster education, solidarity, and action. We also honour the strength of communities addressing family violence, celebrate the diverse heritage of Nova Scotia, and advocate for social justice, kindness, and equity worldwide. This month, let’s come together to amplify these critical conversations, support impactful initiatives, and inspire meaningful change. Check our list of dates and resources here.
