March 8 celebrates 100 years of International Women's Day. In 1911 more than one million women and men attended IWD rallies campaigning for women's rights to work, vote, be trained, to hold public office and end discrimination.
100 years later, this organization is still working on making all mankind equal and have the same opportunities to grow and be successful. Currently this organization is making great strides in helping women of developing countries gain the freedoms and success we have.
Check their website to learn more about this important work:www.internationalwomensday.com
Another great organization working to increase women's rights: www.womenforwomen.org
I urge you to find more information and see what you can do to help women around the world. If we all act together, we can make a change.
