How To Take Part In International Women's Day
Happy International Women’s Day! Today is a day to use your time, voice, and skills to champion women of all ages, races, and walks of life. In fact, March is actually Women's History Month, so beyond today, this month offers a chance to celebrate strong women and the causes and organizations that support them. Something that our team at GEN/C does on the daily! We've broken down five ways you can celebrate and support women both today and all month long:

Follow a few organizations or fellow women on Instagram that champion and support others year-round. Something as simple as a follow not only helps you personally get more informed over time, but also helps these people and groups gain much-deserved awareness for their causes.
