March 8, 2019, marks International Women’s Day – a day to celebrate the economic, social, cultural and political contributions and achievements of women around the world. We’re shining a spotlight on the women who inspire us through their work moving the world to protect animals.

We’re incredibly proud here in the World Animal Protection Canada office to have an all-women leadership team, and to collaborate with so many women making the world a better place for animals, from journalists, to scientists, to corporate executives.
