International Women's Day

3/8/2018

Happy International Women's Day!

We're excited to see examples of creative justice all over the world and the web today in favor of equity in the workplace, in leadership, in communities, and in our homes. We're sharing a few of our favorite moments of this year's demonstrations, and catching up on the history of this day of action. 

Overlooked Women

Picture

The New York Times has written the obituaries of 15 women they'd previously overlooked and neglected to write about upon their deaths. These remarkable women include Ida B. Wells, Marsha P. Johnson, and Slyvia Plath. Even today, only about one in five New York Times obituaries is about a woman, and it's encouraging to see visible media outlets like them owning their wrongs and attempting to correct them. This truth telling is important peacebuilding work! We hope to see more, and we hope it spreads. 

Worldwide Marches

Women all over the world have taken part in demonstrations today to demand equal pay, equal rights, and recognition for all they do. From the strike in Spain to the marches in South Korea, women are taking part in meaningful non-violent action.

History Lesson

Picture
Did you know that International Women's Day began as a commemoration of a march for better working conditions and higher wages for working women? Marches in New York, Germany, and Russia in the 1910s laid the foundation for the demonstrations we see today. Learn more from Teen Vogue's coverage of the fascinating history of International Women's Day.
