Dawson students and faculty collaborated to organize Dawson’s first International Women’s Week. From March 7-11, we hosted over a dozen speakers and engaged several hundred students in discussion and various activities related to gender inequality. The speakers addressed a variety of issues and topics, such as violence against Indigenous women, empowering impoverished Columbian women, prevention and resources for abused women, sexual assault policies on college campuses, the intersection of sexism and racism affecting South Asian youth, violence against Muslim women, as well as a theatrical performance and debate panels. The collaborative work leading up to this week offered an incredible opportunity for students and faculty to learn how to organize such a large scale event. These efforts payed off as each of us found the week of events very rewarding, academically challenging, and politically important.
