Since 1911, International Women’s Day has been celebrated around the world. Various themes and programs have targeted specific areas where change is necessary. Much progress has been made, but more can still be done. This year’s theme, Inspiring Change is a simple but very clear indicator of what can be done to make sure that the next generation of women grow up with a fuller reach to impact their world and explore their innate potential.
What can you do to inspire change is to get involved. There is an incredible array of organizations, campaigns and advocacy groups dedicated to empowering women. Social media has made the world even smaller, with people joining common causes from around the world, connected by purpose.
Today, we stand together to celebrate women around the world. We take a justified pause to acknowledge and honor women who are making strides, breaking glass ceilings and achieving great things.
