UPCOMING EVENTS
October is
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month 鈥� a vital time to centre women鈥檚 voices, stories, and leadership in the fight against breast cancer. At the Anne Welsh McNulty Institute for Women鈥檚 Leadership, we recognize that every diagnosis is more than a statistic 鈥� it is someone鈥檚 journey: a woman, a mother, a leader whose path has unique challenges and strengths. As we join global calls for awareness, early detection, and equitable care, we reaffirm our commitment to empowering women to share their stories, drive change in health systems, and ensure that no woman鈥檚 outcome is determined by where she lives or what resources she has.
