International Women's Day Celebration: Make It Happen

Come and celebrate with us! Open to everyone: We will share our stories in pláticas or conversation circles, have an interactive look at the economic situation for women, and think about how we can build up to a larger women's day event (week?) in 2016. Let's get together and #MakeItHappen! Some reason's to explore with us why it is so important to celebrate women and contemplate the change we want to see happen for a more equal society: - Sixty-six percent of the world’s work falls on women’s shoulders, yet they earn only 10% of the world’s income; - If women were given the same level of access to resources that men have, they could increase yields on their farms by 20-30%; -Hunger and poverty are about power and inequality, and women and girls face the biggest inequalities of all.
