Today, March 8, is International Women's Day (#IWD), first celebrated in 1909. While too many women all over the world still suffer from violence and rights abuses, it is important to recognize the amazing work Indigenous women are doing to make change happen.
El 8 de marzo se conmemora el Día Internacional de la Mujer, un día para luchar por la igualdad, la participación y el empoderamiento de la mujer en todos los ámbitos, así como para visibilizar la desigualdad y discriminación que aún viven las mujeres y garantizar el respeto a sus derechos.
