The International Institute of New England’s annual event for International Women’s Day has undergone a meaningful transition. As we celebrate the centennial of our Boston office, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of our founders: a group of women at the local YWCA who were committed to welcoming, supporting, and celebrating the cultures of immigrant women and girls. Today, we honor their passion and vision through the creation of the WILLOW Fund (The Women’s Initiative for Learning, Liberation, Opportunity and Wellbeing).
The esteemed panel of guest speakers:
