Women’s History Month

This March, we are celebrating Women’s History Month with the national theme ‘Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future’. This theme reminds us that sustainability isn’t just about the environment, it’s about the systems, communities, and futures we’re building together.

Women are at the heart of this work. They’re reshaping what sustainability really means: from financial stability and community strength to leadership that lasts and opportunities that uplift future generations. community resilience, leadership succession, and intergenerational equity.

We have lots of events and activities planned to celebrate this month – SUSU supports all those who identify as women this Women’s History Month and beyond, with all our events being inclusive to all. Take a look below at everything you can get involved with!
