International Women’s Day gives us an opportunity to celebrate women – and the strides that they have made. It is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 as a focal point in the women's rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. Across the globe, women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. As the world spends another day celebrating what women have been able to accomplish regardless of the many barriers they face, I invite you to celebrate you!
