March is Women’s History Month, honoring the contributions women continue to make in society, culture and everyday life.
From making strides in politics and on the big screen, to pushing for social justice causes in their communities, women are present, and local organizations and individuals are celebrating their diversity and strength all month long.
Also, International Women’s Day on March 8 recognizes the global women’s rights movement, calling to light ongoing issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, domestic abuse and violence against women.
