1. Celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month
On March 8th, people around the world connected and commemorated International Women's Day in remembrance of women's progress in the struggle for justice and human rights. The first International Women's Day in 1911 led to the declaration of March as Women's History Month. In celebration of International Women's Day and Women's History Month, please join Afghan Women's Association International, Foundation for Self-Reliance (FSR), and Afghan Coalition on March 21. On this day we will recognize the active women who are working toward women's rights, humanity and justice. Renowned Afghan singer Mahwesh will be our featured speaker. Afghan tea and pastries will be served. |
