Kodiak Chooses Respect

When I say "Kodiak Chooses Respect," I think about a Kodiak where everyone treats each other with the dignity and respect we all deserve as human beings. I think about a Kodiak that doesn't tolerate violence or abuse, a Kodiak where if someone is being hurt, people can step in and help them. I think about a Kodiak where people feel safe and know how to find support when they need it.

Healthy communities, like healthy relationships, are built on respect. We all want to be part of a good community where people support each other and look out for one another, a community where everyone feels safe in their relationships and in their homes and families. We all want to live in a Kodiak that is free from violence and fear, a Kodiak that Chooses Respect.

Join KWRCC and March for Respect on Wednesday, March 27^th.

The month of March has been symbolically important to women’s rights, nationally and internationally for over 100 years. Around 1911, March 8th began being recognized as International Women’s Day by several countries, including the US. In 1980 a National Women’s History Week was designated by Presidential Proclamation and in 1987 Congress established National Women’s History Month.

March also has been significant to women in Alaska for at least 107 years. In its inaugural session, Alaska’s first territorial legislature gave women the right to vote on March 21, 1913—seven years before national women’s suffrage was granted by the 19th Amendment. The Shoup Bill was the first bill signed into law by the territorial governor Walter E. Clark.
