It’s the first day of spring! 🌷
As the season of renewal begins, we’re reminded of the hope and resilience within Belong Ottawa’s community.

This event is such a highlight of the year for us! Thank you Belong Ottawa for being one of the many wonderful organizations who came together and helped to create such a joyful experience for our shared communities ❤️
Women and gender-diverse individuals experience unique factors that contribute to experiences of homelessness and poverty, driven by gender inequality and systemic discrimination. Those with intersecting identities - racialized, Indigenous, disabled, immigrant, and 2SLGBTQI+ women - are at an even higher risk.
This issue hits close to home for Belong Ottawa as we create space for women and gender-diverse people at The Well. We’re proud to provide access to nutritious meals and essential services in a community of hope and support. ❓Looking to learn more?belongottawa.ca/programs/the-well/www.internationalwomensday.comcanadianwomen.org/the-facts/womens-poverty🗒️Agencies in Ottawa Minwaashin Lodge ProgramsOttawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women (OCTEVAW)Immigrant Women Services OttawaCornerstone Housing for WomenElizabeth Fry Society of OttawaSt. Joe's Women's CentreAmethyst Centre Ottawa - Centre Amethyst d’Ottawa ...
