“Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives” is the theme International Women’s Day, March 8, 2018.
This year, International Women’s Day comes on the heels of unprecedented global movement for women’s rights, equality and justice.
Sexual harassment, violence and discrimination against women has captured headlines and public discourse, propelled by a rising determination for change.
International Women’s Day 2018 is an opportunity to transform this momentum into action, to empower women in all settings, rural and urban, and celebrate the activists who are working relentlessly to claim women’s rights and realize their full potential.2018©unwomen
Violence against women and girls is continuing to happen everyday all over the world. We must continue to fight for all women to be treated with respect and equality. International Women’s Day focuses on ending violence against women and empowering them.

I found the image on Google images. It spoke to me too.
As women, we need to find our voices and speak our truth.
Women are getting there but there’s still a great deal to be done.
Rise Up ….
