?? Happy International Women’s Day! ?? Today, we recognize and celebrate the achievements of women and girls everywhere, leaders, innovators, caregivers, and changemakers who are shaping a better world. At the same time, gender equality (SDG 5) remains an unfinished goal. Women still face barriers in access to education, leadership, and economic opportunities. But progress is happening, thanks to those who continue to push for change. Let’s take today to acknowledge the women who inspire us, support gender equity in our communities, and commit to building a more just and equal world on every day of the year. ??
