Make Women's Rights a Priority!
Sponsored by: Mama CashThroughout 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.
Make your pledge to make women’s rights a special priority today!

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.

I will be volunteering to help young women express their thoughts through the power of a pen, brush or instrument.

Women have rights as well and MEN had better realize that if you don't TREAT Women with respect and honor. What you will get is your worse nightmare come true. Or can you Men make babies? You don't kill women because they were raped as it is done in many countries including ours. It dishonors that family when they do it and makes whatever respect disappear very quickly. So think before you kill someone like this.

The way all my teenage and 20-something friends and I discussed all our date rapes and incest and all the rest - We were so casual about it. I don't think it's until now in our 30s and 40s any of us have started calling what happened really what it was. I pledge to stop lying about sexual assault and trauma and to be nicer to myself because it blows to pieces every single aspect of my way of seeing myself and my life and the greater world. When my friends talk about the $20 their brother's friend gave them for sex when they were 13 and other regular type things, I am going to not breeze over it with them. It all needs to be put in context. 12 year old girls are not sexually mature women, despite what my male friends even say.

Women make up more than half of the world's population yet we are treated, at best, like second-class citizens or worse, slaves even.
