International Women's Day

Today is the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day.  It's a chance to celebrate the women in your life, look back at the progress made in women's rights, and look forward to the changes that still need to happen for women.

"The rights of women are not recognized around the world as much as they need to be. The rates of abuse and violence perpetrated against women are still outrageously high and women are a crucial and a beautiful part of our society that needs to be celebrated," Aisha Entz, a volunteer with the West End Women's Resource Centre said.  (www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/rally-celebrates-100th-womens-day-117569743.html)
