International Women's Day

Today we celebrate what it is to be women... Living in a privileged nation, I get to do that each and every day of my life. Today I celebrate the women and girls who fight for survival with every breath; who walk in silence so that they may return another day; who meet in quiet basements and discuss their future; who plan and act decisively towards a better life for themselves and their daughters; and those brave enough to speak out even at the risk of their own life. Today I celebrate every woman aiming to make a difference -- towards a world of equality for all. What does March 8th mean to you? #IWD2014
