Womens crissi centre

Make it Happen is this year’s International Women’s Day theme.

Becky Mason with the Timmins and Area Women is Crisis Centre says, it’s a day of overcoming adversity and women should never be afraid to speak out.

“24 hour crisis lines are completely confidential and you never have to use your name or be afraid to get help.”

“We’re also celebrating 10 local women who’ve overcome adversity and gone on to a successful life.”
