We've been fighting for women's equality for 25 years - since our inception, really. On International Women's Day this year, we want to show you it takes more than just a day. It takes hard work on the ground, and it takes years, but the results are abolutely worth it - saved lives, empowerment and opportunities, and entire communities benefitting from women's engagement.
