International Women's Day (March 8)
 

Bond and M on International Women's Day. While we may go on about our own rights, women still face much of the challenges still today -- yes, even in 2011. I know in Canada there is an organization (Provincially and corporate funded) to help promote women: http://www.cdnwomen.org/EN/index.html

What other events/organizations need our support today to help women become equal?

March is also National Women's History Month!

I wasn't aware that it was the 100th Anniversary of International Women's Day.

Canada's National Women's Month is October... I didn't realize it was different.

I usually have an NPR station on in the background and there have been several programs on covering violence against women of the world. Although, I know this, I cringe, feel both anger and sorrow and wonder if there will ever be generations of women free of this.

Josephine Baker | ww2 French Resistance
 

Miss Baker grew up in the St Louis slums, often living under cardboard shelter and scavenging for scraps of food…. She left the racist confines of our country and sailed to France, where they welcomed her with open arms. Later, she was recruited by the French Resistance during World War II. She was a songstress and danced too. Happy International Women’s Day during the month of March which celebrates the history of women far and wide. 🌷🌷🌷
