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!
deadline: Ongoing...
goal: 5,000

Disgusting, absolutely disgraceful that women are still treated as lesser beings. We still make less than men, we are still being treated as property in other countries, this is not the middle ages anymore, this is the 21st century, but in many respects it doesn't feel like the 21st century. Call me a feminist, I don't care, but without women there would be no men, there would be no one at all!

Some say women have come a long way. I say, its a farce! Women are continually treated like non humans in so many ways!
