International Women's Day (IWD) March 8, 2016 - IWD Action Guide

International Women’s Day (IWD) is just around the corner on March 8th. AI USA’s Identity and Discrimination Unit has compiled some actions that individuals and groups can take to mark IWD and highlight some of the advocacy work that Amnesty is doing around certain cases.

You can, for example:

• draw attention to sexual and reproductive rights in the Americas and in your own communities by making a short video and posting it online; 
•  collect as many signatures as possible to help end child marriage in Burkina Faso and the harmful abortion ban in El Salvador; 
• and download the MBMR Spring 2016 toolkit for more ideas.
