Plenario: Dónde estamos ahora / 20 aniversario de KAIROS
Channel: KAIROS Canada
Date: 01/02/2022

KAIROS has been purposefully growing and adapting to achieve significant development in recent years through initiatives such as the enhanced Women of Courage program, enabled by government support of the Women, Peace and Security agenda and the Migrant Justice through the Empowering Temporary Foreign Workers During COVID-19 project. KAIROS has also deepened partnerships with women land and water defenders on climate justice and corporate accountability and experienced the exponential expansion of the KAIROS Blanket Exercise program. Join us as we listen to the voices of those who are steeped in the work right now share the triumphs and challenges that face us today. A three-person panel will be complimented by responders who will deepen the reflection on where we are at now.
