Take Action: Celebrate Women on International Women's Day!
Sign the pledge supporting women all over the world, and tell us about a woman who inspires you in the comments section.
Goal: 15,000

Progress: 1,200
Sponsored by: The Breast Cancer Site
March 8th is International Women's Day and it has been celebrated for over a hundred years. Each year all over the world, people get together for conferences, rallies, theatrical performances, craft markets — activities that honor women's achievements and progress.
But did you know that close to 70% of the world's poverty-stricken are women? Did you know that between 100 and 140 million girls have experienced genital mutilation? How about that one in five women will be a victim of rape in her lifetime?
With numbers like these, it's clear that women have not yet attained full equality in our male-driven world. We need programs for job training, education, and family planning to give women the tools to make their own informed and educated decisions.
International Women's Day is a great place to start. Sign the pledge below promoting women's equality everywhere and in the comments section, tell us about a woman who inspires you.

My mom is my inspiration. She is an amazing individual. She was born with only one hand and can do everything 2-handed people can do and so much more. Her strength through so much loss amazes me, and her love for me amazes me even more. My mom's my all.

Women need to stand up for themselves.
We can no longer accept being treated like second class citizens, or worse yet, property or slaves. We deserve respect as people, mothers, wives, sisters, colleagues and friends. Be proud and strong. Unite!

My mother is a huge inspiration in my life. she is the glue that hold our family together. My mother takes care of her own health, her boyfriend who has cancer and bother elderly parents. She never misses a beat with her children or grandchildren.

I work with the geriatric population and each woman has a unique story and lesson to learn from. There is so much to learn from our elders. I am full of respect for them!
