Happy International Women’s Day 2024!

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and invaluable contributions of women everywhere, from Vermont to every corner of the globe!

At VSEA, we recognize the vital role that women play in shaping our communities, our workplaces, and our future. From fighting for fair wages to advocating for better working conditions, women have been at the forefront of the labor movement, driving positive change and inspiring generations.

Let’s take a moment to recognize the progress we’ve made in advancing women’s rights and equality, but also acknowledge the work that still lies ahead. Together, we can continue to break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women out there! Today, and every day, we celebrate you.
