Today on International Women's Day, we honour and recognize the power, courage, and contributions of the many women in our personal and professional lives. As we celebrate the achievements of women, we also call attention to the need to accelerate women's equality and work together to help forge a gender equal world.

In the words of Gloria Steinem, "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights."
