Women's Education — now more than ever!
On Saturday, Jan. 21, nearly 100 members of the University community will join the Abigail Quigley McCarthy Center for Women and the Mission Chair in Women’s Education at St. Kate’s at the Women's March – Minnesota.
Marching for "peace without prejudice" and for inclusion, equality and justice, the Center for Women and the Mission Chair in Women’s Education invite students, staff, faculty, alumnae, Sisters and friends to participate in this historic event.
Sharon Doherty, professor and director of the Women's Center, and Allison Adrian, associate professor and mission chair in Women's Education, outlined their reasons for marching:
- Prevent violence against women
- Ensure the safety and well-being of immigrants and those of all faiths
- Support all women’s access to affordable healthcare
"Together, we will send a message to our leaders and the world that we stand for human dignity, equal rights and freedom from discrimination," said Doherty and Adrian. "Ours is a peaceful, nonpartisan march."
