International Women's Day
March 8, 2010

March 8th marks International Women’s Day, a time for us to join women across the world in celebrating our achievements and in drawing attention to continuing issues of gender inequality. Women are incredible assets to the global economy. As more women have had the opportunity to join the paid global workforce, their leadership has created millions of new jobs and generated trillions in revenue. However we know that women still face very real economic injustices. A world with economic security for women is a place with increased economic security for families and communities everywhere. Join us as we raise money to ensure critical funding continues to supports the women-led solutions that are improving our community.
