Make gender equality a reality For All Women And Girls.

This March 8th, International Women's Day, our call is simple:  📢 Make gender equality a reality For All Women And Girls.

No more pushback. No more backlash.

The time to act is NOW

[internationalwomenday]

Be first to respond in crisis by providing critical support For All Women And Girls.

Over 600 million.

That’s how many women and girls live near armed conflict.

Women’s organizations continue to be first responders in crises, providing critical support For All Women And Girls.

We must Invest In Women to realize a safe future for EVERYONE.

[internationalwomenday]

Build a safe society, so every woman and girl can live a life free from violence.

It’s 2025 and a woman or a girl is being killed every 10 minutes.

This is UNACCEPTABLE.

We call on countries to enforce laws to end violence against women and girls, and hold perpetrators accountable.
