Women Move Mountains
Canadian Mountain Network and Mountain Sentinels are partnering to host “Women Move Mountains,” a dialogue on the theme of this year’s International Mountain Day (IMD).
Women play a key role in the stewardship, conservation, economic development and management of mountains including the keeping and sharing of traditional knowledge. IMD 2022 focuses on the need to empower farmers, artisans, entrepreneurs, community leaders, mothers, and mountain women and girls, so that they can more effectively participate in decision-making and resource management.
