Today is International Women’s Day and this is YXE Women’s Week.

Twenty-eight businesses have signed up to take part in a coordinated effort to support local, female owned businesses while also raising funds for domestic abuse survivors.

Each participating business is donating some, or all, of the proceeds from specific items. The proceeds from YXE Women’s Week will support Saskatoon Interval House.

YXE Women’s Week recognizes how hard the COVID-19 pandemic has been on Saskatoon’s small business community while also exacerbating domestic abuse incidents.
