St Ann Female Firefighters Celebrate IWD, Raise Awareness

March 8, International Women’s Day (IWD), is set aside to celebrate women’s rights, activism, and accomplishments. Eliminating gender-based violence, and eradicating stereotypes and discrimination around females take centre stage, and this year CVM LIVE acknowledges the efforts of a group of women blazing their own trail through service.
