International Women’s Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 as a focal point in the women’s rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. One of the many excellent ways to introduce the next generation to the importance of global observances like this one is with BOOKS.

From The International Women’s Day official website:

Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity.

Celebrate women’s achievements. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to drive gender parity.
