What we missed: International Women’s Day

(poster by Favianna Rodriguez)

It’s International Women’s Day–a nice reminder that every other day must be International Men’s Day! Oh, wait…that’s not the point.

At Feministing, everyday is International Women’s Day. But on this day, let’s think about how much women around the world are kicking ass–whether it be on the steps of Virginia’s capital, in the Philippines or online. If today is about raising awareness about the ruthless war on women’s rights, world-wide, and the many battles ahead–I’m all for it.

Please put links to actions, write-ups, blog posts and anything else you want to share for IWD, today and beyond.
