Happy International Women's Day!

Today, March 8th, has been designated as International Women's Day by the United Nations, with the goal of drawing attention to the political and human rights of women. I am especially grateful this day to the women I know who have fought in ways large and small to make the world a better place for women and girls. I hope if you, like me, know one of those women, you will thank them today.

The ONE organization, a group at the forefront in the fight against extreme poverty, launched a Women One2One campaign today to help women empower each other around the world. Here, they share a video of one girl's story of the urgent need for health care around the world. Watch it, and get involved!
