On International Womenâs Day, the stark reality is that we have only just begun, writes Harini Calamur
We are the last group in the world that still provides labour for free. Everywhere else, slavery has been abolished
The younger me abhorred International Womenâs Day. What about the other 364 days â I would fume. As someone who grew up in relative privilege â I wasnât killed for being a female, and nor did my family look at me as a burden. I was encouraged by both parents and the extended family to explore my world and make my choices. I would go as far as to say, that I had more freedom than my siblings â both boys. It is only much later in life I realised what a rarity that is â to be brought up as an equal and empowered to make choices, to have unconditional support and love from your family to follow those choices.

14 Women From Binghamton Who’ve Made Their Mark on the World
Today, March 8th is International Women s Day. I told Traci that I don t know any international women and with an eye-roll, she informed me that s not what it means. What would I do without her to keep me in line at work? That s why she is on my list of the special women in my life.
Okay, now that I got the joke out of the way, I m going to get serious for a moment. I want to take some time to honor these five special ladies in my life. These five women each hold a place in my heart for a different but very special reason.
