Sponsored by: Mama Cash
Throughout history, countless women have planned, organized, lectured, wrote, marched, petitioned, lobbied and broke new ground in every field imaginable.

The lives of women have been changed forever – but there’s still so much more to do for women’s rights around the globe.

The 88 days between Dec. 10 and March 8 - International Human Rights Day and International Women's Day – is a time to make women's rights a special priority. We're already halfway there. Now is the time to Act!

You can contribute to a better world for women and girls! Pledge to do your part during these 88 days and convert your personal power into action and awareness.

Your pledge can be as simple as sharing your opinion on women's rights, or reading an article - or it can be as large as hosting a dinner party in honor of womens' rights, taking part in an event or making a speech.

Make your pledge to make women’s rights a special priority today!
deadline: Ongoing...
goal: 5,000

I deal with a 19th Century mentality towards women in a 21st Century First World country every day. With a supportive husband, who is often ridiculed for staying at home with our two beautiful daughters while I run our business, and us both teaching our daughters the value of an individual regardless of gender, religion or politics I hope we can make a difference in their lives and give a positive example for the women in the society around us.

Women are persons not things and deserve the same rights as men. The days of women being considered as men's property are long past.
