EVPL invites you to celebrate Women’s History Month with us as we highlight the achievements and contributions of women in history and the vital role women play in today’s society. This year’s theme – Providing Healing, Promoting Hope – “is both a tribute to ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history.”
