Make Women's Rights a Priority!

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!

I believe we need to convince people to move away from religon as it never seems to be in the best interests of humans who live in the "here and now". As a man with 3 sisters, a mother and a lovely wife, I am embarrased by members of my gender who treat women badly.

We need to stand together to change the inequality that exists in our country today. I continuously blog on this issue. Companies and corporate America needs to be audited and fined for the gender wage gap they inflict against women. The government needs tighter regulations so women with the same education, qualifications, and experience do not get paid 77 cents to the dollar of their mail counterparts.
