Happy International Women’s Day

Muslimah Media Watch would like to wish all our readers a happy International Women’s Day! Call all the women in your life that you love and tell them so.

You can learn more about the holiday at the official IWD website, and watch some really great videos; they’ve even got a sister talking about the importance of opportunity for women!

They’ve also got a beautiful gallery of past IWD events, which is where I stole these pictures from:
