IWD 2019
#BalanceforBetter
International Women’s Day (IWD)
International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
International Women’s Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Prior to this the Socialist Party of America, United Kingdom’s Suffragists and Suffragettes, and further groups campaigned for women’s equality.
Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific. Make IWD your day – everyday.

Paying It Forward
with Michi Fu
This sharing circle will focus on expressing gratitude towards women who have served as our role models. Participants will have an opportunity to consider the influence such mentors have had on our development. Sharing circle members will also be encouraged to consider how their own strengths may have had an impact on others. The sharing circle will culminate by reflecting upon how to use our talents to benefit others as we have generously received gifts from others before us.

Su-Yang, a renowned artist whose albums were released in Taiwan and Hong Kong, stepped off the stage for her family many years ago. She started to share her love with others, as an older sister/mother to many— caring, guiding, assisting, and supporting many families and women.
This year, she picked out some of her photography work that portray her feelings, daily life, and body, emphasizing the idea that women need to love themselves, and regain their freedom and passion, just like when they were children. Su-Yang wants to use this opportunity to appreciate everything in life, including women’s tenderness and sensibility, as well as girls’ courage and pureness.

PICK, FOOD, UP,
We are saving surplus ingredients and making wasted food tasty. The journey of food is not only a straight path from farm to table but also the contribution of the entire planet and human being. That’s why we have to take care of more than just the food on table. By focusing on the food behind and after tables, we are trying to make the existing food production chain become a more sustainable system. We create tasty and quality dishes out of surplus food, making it as a creative solution to fighting against environmental issues such as food waste and climate change. Surplus food is thus endowed with new values than just brought up for charity.
