Dear women,
Know that you are capable of amazing things and never let anyone tell you otherwise. Period.
RT and empower other women!

It's not enough to simply increase the number of girls & women in education.
We must:
-Transform harmful norms & stereotypes
-Create safe learning spaces on & offline
-Ensure education, including STEM, equips girls & women for the future

129 years ago #OnThisDay, New Zealand became the first country in the world to grant women the right to vote in parliamentary elections!
We've come a long way for women's rights since then, but there is still a lot of work to do.

#EqualPayDay Reminder:
Commitment to equal pay = Commitment to gender equality.
It's that simple.

Women belong👏 in all places👏 where decisions👏 are being made👏
Today we remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg, U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
#RBG was a champion for justice and she cleared the way for gender equality so other women can have a seat at the table.
Her legacy lives on.
