"I believe the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st Century"
Hillary Rodham Clinton
International Women’s Day (March 8th) is a global event celebrating women’s achievements - whatever they may be - whilst calling for gender equality.
This year (2017), International Women's Day takes on a renewed energy — a wave of new marches and actions we may all participate in for solidarity around the world.

Oh, and wear red. I just heard that & will dig out a splash of red to wear when out and about in support of all women, no matter what their politics, religion or status.
When women support other women, great things happen.
