Ways You Can Celebrate International Women's Day #IWD2016

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Visit www.internationalwomensday.com for more information on this global project.

Here are the 6 tenets for 2016:

Help women and girls achieve their ambitions
Challenge conscious and unconscious bias
Call for gender-based leadership
Value everyone's contributions equally
Create inclusive, flexible cultures
Further gender parity resources

I've chosen to help women and girls achieve their ambitions.
