Join the 2022 Anchorage International Women’s Day Planning Committee for a virtual panel discussion celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.

Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. This is what this day envisions – a day to accelerate women’s equality and empower women of all ages and backgrounds.

This event will be broadcast on Facebook Live and on APU’s YouTube Channel.
