16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence - Day 9

Celebrating  Women's Rights Heroes - Take Action TODAY!
 "This means standing up to attitudes and behaviors that value men over women – and that are expressed in many ways, from casual insults to outright violence. These attitudes are at the root of what prevents so many women and girls from making decisions that affect their bodies and their lives – and that block women and girls from claiming their rights and participating in society equally with men and boys."
