Today, March 8, is the annual International Women’s Day, with this year’s theme “Choose to Challenge” (# ChoosetoChallenge | #IWD2021). Begun in 1911, it celebrates women’s achievements, courage, and challenges as they face inequality and bias and, despite that, still effect change. Women wear purple (for justice and dignity), green (for hope), and white (for purity) today to show solidarity.
This is a good day for us, both men and women, to wear the movement’s colors, give to women-run charities, or engage in one of these 12 United Nations suggested small actions.
