March4Women

What is #March4Women?

Our world today is still shockingly unequal. But we believe we can achieve gender equality if we join together to stand up and speak out. CARE International’s #March4Women brings people together to end the injustice of gender inequality, and help make a more equal world – for everyone.

Taking action for refugee women

Speakers at the #March4Women event to celebrate International Women's Day – including Syrian refugee Muzoon Almellehan, Malala Fund campaigner for girls’ education – drew attention to the challenges being faced around the world today by refugee women and girls. Find out more here.
