To recognize International Women’s Day this March 8, here are six easy ways to make a big difference in the lives of daughters, sisters, and mothers around the world — and right in our own neighbourhoods’. (1). Provide the ticket to a better life: clean water. Did you know that instead of attending class, girls and women around the world spend 200 million hours each day getting water that is often dirty and dangerous to their health. You can help provide clean water and open the door to a better life for a girl. (2). Support girls and women in crisis. Millions of girls are subjected to abuse, child labor, trafficking, child marriage, and other offenses. Let us join hands to end these gender-based violence. (3). Mentor a girl close to home. Many girls are held back by poverty, poor-performing schools, and teen violence. Reach out and influence the life of a girl in your own community by volunteering as a tutor or mentor. Help every girl and woman feel valued. (4). Invest in a small business owner. You can connect with hardworking female entrepreneurs who are waiting to realize their dream of building or expanding a successful business. A small loan is all they need. Help them to make a bigger impact. (5). Use your voice to help keep girls in school. When girls stay in school and finish secondary education, a lot of good things happen for them and their families. They enjoy better health and can take care of themselves and their children. Your support for the Keeping Girls in School can help girls to stay in school and receive a high-quality education. (6). Tell the women in your life that you care. Want to encourage and empower girls and women? Start right in your own home, workplace, and community. Write a note of thanks to that teacher who encouraged you years ago, pick up coffee for that new mom in your office who’s struggling to balance it all, or tell your own sister, daughter, or mother how much you appreciate them.
