AHRC celebrates International Women Day, Delegation will participate in United Nations Women Event:

The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) joins the global community in observing and celebrating the International Women Day that is globally recognized annually on March 8.The International Women Day serves as a reminder that women’s struggle for equal rights within our societies is still far from being over despite progress in a number of countries.AHRC affirms that women’s rights are human rights and those rights are universal. Wars and conflicts have taken a special toll on women and children. Helping end wars and conflicts goes a long way in improving the lives of women in less developed countries.“In today’s climate, our society should be more protective of women than ever before. Despite overcoming years of hitting the glass ceiling, women are still at the front lines fighting for equity and inclusion at too many tables. To many women, it feels like we’re on the brink of something new, something powerful and life changing for the generation behind us.” Said Ms. Stephanie Crider, AHRC Advisory Board Member. “When considering today’s climate, this month’s Commission on the Status of Women is not only timely, its anticipation is palpable.” Continued Ms., Crider.AHRC supports women and their struggle for equality.
