Make it Happen


Today is International Women's Day and all over the world women are celebrating the achievement of women.  Those who helped secure the vote for women in the United States and those that are working to secure the vote for women in those countries that have that step to take.  In some countries women are looking at gender equity and in others they are fighting for the right for girls to attend school. There is so much work to be done. The struggle continues around the globe.
