In Sonya Ulibarri s eyes, International Women s Day is only half about celebration.
The other half, Girls Inc. of Metro Denver s CEO and president says, is about action. International Women s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions that girls and women make across the globe, Ulibarri says, and throughout Women s History Month, we recognize that these achievements are not new but have been made by women throughout history. IWD is also a call to action to continue the work toward gender equity, highlight the challenges that women and girls face locally and globally, and progress toward a more just and safe world for women and girls.
