The Día de la Mujer Conference has provided a much needed space for Latinas in Michigan to highlight their accomplishments in our community.As in previous years, this year's International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women launches 16 days of activism to be concluded on the 10 th of December 2020 - the day that commemorates the International Human Rights Day. The goal of the Día de la Mujer conference is to empower, motivate, inspire, and support Latinas in their quest for advancement. This information will be used as a base for the DDLM committee in the planning, design, and development of the conference to guarantee a more accurate program approach, increase participation and improve the quality of the DDLM conference. The proposed CNBP component will ascertain general needs and concerns of Latinas. Through our surveying of previous DDLM conferences we have found that there is a need for a Community Network Based Planning (CNBP) approach to enhance the DDLM conference plans and design. In order for the present structure and operational system of DDLM to keep up with the changing social, political and economic needs of Latinas in Michigan, an accurate needs assessment of Michigan Latinas is needed. The evolving needs and characteristics of Latinas as a population group demands that events like DDLM acutely assess the target community in order to effectively keep up with its demographic and ethnographic changes. Through an agenda tailored to Latinas’ social issues, DDLM has become an institution and a source of education and development for the many hundreds of people that attend each year and an event where networking connections are made for employment, educational opportunities, and empowerment of Michigan Latinas.Ĭurrent success of DDLM can be attributed to the sponsorship and stewardship of Michigan State University units and departments that support Latinas in their quest for advancement. The Día de la Mujer (DDLM) conference is designed to provide Michigan Latinas with the opportunity to develop support systems to effectively overcome these challenging areas. Compared to the 16 th Annual DDLM the year before the number of participants increased by more than one hundred and the overall quality of the conference improved significantly. These workshops were facilitated by Latina experts in the identified areas. The workshops covered perspectives on health, culture, self-development, professional networking, media and political representation. The one day event offered thirty workshops for participants that attracted grandmothers, mothers, college, high school and elementary school students. Throughout the day nearly 500 people attended the conference. The 17th Annual Día de la Mujer Conference (DDLM) was held on Maat the Kellogg Center at Michigan State University.
