Don’t Read This If You’re Done With Women’s Day

It’s March 9, so we can all settle back comfortably into our daily lives. Women’s Day is done, so if we aren’t going to make any permanent changes, we can stop with the empty messages of empowerment. But before we give in to the disillusionment that this might bring, allow us to tell you about stories and events around Women’s Day in India, which actually were bright, powerful and inspiring. Events that go beyond the day and those that will restore your faith, and make you believe that we are moving in the right direction.
