#EmbraceEquity this International Women’s Day
This year SHE Changes Climate will be Embracing Equity for International Women’s Day. Collective activism is what drives change. From grassroots action to wide-scale momentum, we can all embrace equity. Forging gender equity isn't limited to women solely fighting the good fight. Allies are incredibly important for the social, economic, cultural, and political advancement of women. Are you in? Will you embrace equity?
