Celebrate Women's History Month!

The National Women's History Month theme for 2018 is "Nevertheless, She Persisted: Honoring Women Who Fight All Forms of Discrimination Against Women". Examine the changing cultural perceptions of women in society and honor their contributions to all aspects of life. Although many of the accomplishments and contributions of women have been lost from the history books, women have played a vital role in the course of human civilization. From raising families to leading armies, women have made untold contributions to history.

Zero Discrimination Day 2018

Celebrate March 1 is Zero Discrimination Day, a worldwide event that promotes diversity and recognizes that everyone counts.

Organizations like the United Nations (UN) actively promote this day with activities to celebrate everyone’s right to live a full life with dignity regardless of age, gender, sexuality, nationality, ethnicity, skin color, height, weight, profession, education, and beliefs.

Many countries have laws against discrimination but it's still a problem in all layers of society in every country in the world. Many countries have and still use discrimination as a way of governing.

The symbol for Zero Discrimination Day is the butterfly, widely used by people to share their stories and photos as a way to end discrimination and work towards positive transformation.
