Join us on a bridge!

Posted on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 am

March 8th is International Women’s Day! It is a time where we will join the drumming beats of drummers, our own drums, and our own heartbeats. A time where we can march, tie our fabrics together, celebrate who we are and what we have given to our families and societies.

The Founder and CEO of Women for Women International, Zainab Salb says, “We all have envisioned a day where women will speak out and speak up, to break their silence and demand peace, justice, and more equality in this world. A hundred years have gone by and women have accomplished a lot in legal protection, political and economic representation, education, and so many other areas. But the road to full equality for women is still long, and our vision of justice and sustainable, full peace in our lives has yet to come.”

We couldn’t agree with her more.

Statistics show women are disproportionally marginalized in the world and it is time to BRIDGE THE GAP. Let us make this day a day the time to celebrate our womanhood, our voices, our contribution to society. It is time to speak out. It is time to break our silence. It is time to demand peace and justice. IT IS TIME TO JOIN US ON A BRIDGE!

The sites below will link you to meeting places all over the world for International Women’s Day. Take some time on March 8th to find a bridge, any bridge, and let’s celebrate what a powerful impact we women have on our world!
