International Women’s Day Luncheon
March 8 marked International Women’s Day—a global day to recognize and celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and girls. It was also a time to reflect on the progress made towards gender equality and acknowledge the work that still needs to be done.
This year, Halton Women’s Place hosted its annual International Women’s Day Luncheon to commemorate this special day. The event featured an inspiring guest speaker, a vendor marketplace showcasing women-led businesses, and a delicious hot buffet lunch.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to make this event such a success! We look forward to welcoming you again next year.

Thank You for Joining Us!
Our IWD Luncheon featuring Dr. Samra Zafar was an inspiring and thought-provoking experience. An award-winning speaker, bestselling author, and psychiatrist, Samra shared her powerful journey of overcoming abuse and becoming a global advocate for inclusion and wellness.
Her bestselling book, A Good Wife: Escaping the Life I Never Chose, and upcoming release, UNCONDITIONAL, highlight her resilience and insights on breaking free from past limits. With four TEDx Talks and a global speaking portfolio, Samra’s message resonated deeply with our audience.
We appreciate everyone who attended and look forward to continuing these important conversations!
