“International Women’s Day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. Yet progress has slowed in many places across the world, so global action is needed to accelerate gender parity. In 2016 leaders across the world pledged<\/b><\/a> to take action as champions of gender parity<\/b><\/a> – not only for International Women’s Day, but for every day. Groups and individuals also pledged their support<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

For International Women’s Day 2017, we’re asking you to #BeBoldForChange<\/b><\/a>.
\nCall on the masses or call on yourself to help forge a better working world – a more gender inclusive world. Submit your #BeBoldForChange<\/b><\/a> action via the IWD website.” –\u00a0https:\/\/www.internationalwomensday.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The goal is to have everyone, of all backgrounds, both men and women to support this day to showcase the world moving towards a positive direction that ensures equality among all women and men. To name a new things that needs\u00a0change are equality in wages, education, healthcare, and other opportunities that are limited to women. It may not be the biggest concern in the US, but in other parts of the world these things aren’t available to young girls and women. In support of\u00a0International Women’s Day, let’s highlight some historical female leaders from all around the world.<\/p>\n
