    with Ser Mujer


    Event Schedule


    By Carole Schor

     

    For the sixth year, Ser Mujer SMA presents a month-long series of events to celebrate Women’s History Month. Ser Mujer is a San Miguel de Allende group of Mexican, American, and Canadian women of all ages working in partnership with community-based organizations. Our goal is to promote the commonality of women’s issues across cultures, raise awareness of their challenges, and celebrate their accomplishments and contributions. Proceeds from Ser Mujer events are donated to women’s organizations working to further the empowerment and safety of women in San Miguel and Mexico.


    Due to COVID-19 restrictions, these events will be broadcast on ZOOM.
