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: 1-17-2009

Fighting for women's rights in 2008 suonds awful. They should be taken for granted. But things are differetnt. So, heads up and let's keep doing what we have been doing for ages: claiming and defending our identity and our impact in the society, sisters!

Women should not have to fight for their rights in 2008!! But as they're still not recognized fully, we have to continue the fight to get what we deserve - a full recognition of who we are - major participants and founders of our world.
