"Invest in Women, Accelerate Progress" #InternationalWomensDay
Jacqui Fishman
On this #InternationalWomensDay we celebrate the lives, stories, work, and leadership of the women who blazed so many trails for girls and women all over the world. We honor their work and legacy by committing to advance gender equity, ensuring that EVERY girl can live in safety, unlocking access to education denied to so many, and fulfilling the promise that all girls can live in a world that fosters their potential. It is vital that girls everywhere have access to the education, security, and well-being that will help them grow into amazing women who can change not only their own lives but their neighborhoods, their communities, and … their planet!
We need to commit to opening any door that any girl wants to enter, and guarantee her the future of her choosing with every opportunity possible to realize the power of her dreams because This Girl Can! Change the World! ...and she will.
We honor the work of Girls Opportunity Alliance, UN Women, Room to Read, Razia's Ray of Hope Foundation Foundation, Malala Fund, and all the amazing organizations working to support girls around the globe.
