Happy International Women’s Day! 

International women’s day is a global day that celebrates the social, economic, political and cultural achievements of women. 

This day is also a call to action to accelerate gender equity and equality. Significant activism can be seen around the world as groups, individuals, companies and organizations come together to celebrate women’s achievements and champion women’s equality.

International women’s day is a time to reflect on progress, call for change and celebrate the courage and decisiveness of ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities. 

International women’s day also provides the opportunity to raise funds along with awareness to strengthen efforts for women-focused charities such as Women That Give. 

Partnerships and funding with registered charities and non-profit organizations dedicated to the empowerment of women and girls means addressing inequities and supporting the important work we put towards the women. 

Happy International Women’s Day from the team at Women That Give. Join us in our mission and support our objectives and goals for 2023. 

Celebrating IWD and partners

Another great organization WTG is partnering with Secret 3k this International Womens Day.

Based on the documentary Secret Marathon about the Marathon of Afghanistan, the Secret 3k globally is a fundraiser for sports programs for women and girls primarily based in Afghanistan. Locally, it promotes and creates safe spaces for women runners in our community.

Join us for The Secret 3K run/walk. Held during the week of International Women’s Day, this race celebrates our right to be free to run. We’re inviting everyone to come together in solidarity supporting the right all humans should have to walk or run free of fear in their community.
