Women Rising: Strength, Voice Leadership

Women Rising: Strength, Voice, Leadership is a weekend dedicated to empowering CUPE women and those who identify as such to step into their leadership, strengthen their voices, and build collective power. Grounded in the theme Bold Women. Strong Voices. Real Change., the weekend invites participants to explore what it means to lead with courage, resilience, and purpose within our union, the labour movement, and beyond. The Women Rising weekend creates space to connect with other women, build supportive relationships, and form lasting networks that participants can draw on long after the event ends.

Through CUPE’s Women Breaking Barriers course, attendees will examine the systemic challenges women face while gaining practical skills and confidence to navigate and overcome them. Learn about women’s oppression, politics and social change, all from a woman’s perspective. Explore the barriers, challenges and opportunities for women in the union. Discover your own personal leadership style and develop a plan for your personal next step.

The weekend will also feature inspiring guest speakers who will share their personal journeys, highlighting the obstacles they have faced and the strength it takes to continue showing up and doing this important work. Rooted in solidarity and shared experience, this gathering creates space to connect, learn, and rise together. When women lead with strength and voice, real change happens.
