International Golden Rule Day, a worldwide virtual celebration
We celebrated Golden Rule Day virtually this year. I was part of the four-hour events, performances and messages streamed over the web to worldwide audiences last April 5, 2021.

These are just three examples of traditional cultural practices that harm women and serve as a means to subjugate and control them; in many instances, these practices are directly linked to religion, another weapon of discrimination against women.
