Hello Friends
(Especially My National & International Sisters),
MARCH
is
Women's History Month!
This year's Theme is:
"VALIANT WOMEN OF THE VOTE"
In commemoration of the centennial of the
19th Amendment
, women are honored who were from the original
suffrage movement
, as well as 20th and 21st century women, who continue the struggle to ensure
VOTING RIGHTS
for
ALL
. That struggle, even today, include: Fighting against
Poll Tax, Voter Roll Purges, Literacy Test, and other forms of Voter suppression.
What a perfect time to remember and acknowledge the accomplish-ments of women of our past and present who have made notable contributions to our lives.
Let us celebrate ALL Women from every country, every ethnicity and background--not just in March, but all year long.

International Women's Day
(IWD)
this year is
Sunday, March 8th.
T
his year's
IWD theme
is,
"Generation Equality: Realizing WOMEN'S Rights"
The
Equality
campaign is bringing together people of every gender, age, ethnicity, race, religion and country, to
drive
actions
that will create the
gender-equal
world we all deserve, especially our young girls.
An
equal world
is an
enabled world.
Equality
is not just a
women's issue
;
it's also a
business issue
.
Therefore,
Gender Equality
is essential for economies and communities to thrive, not just to survive.
Individually
,
we're all responsible for our
own thoughts and actions
all day, every day. We can actively
choose
to
challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women's achievements.
Collectively
,
each one of us can help create a gender-equal world. Start with VOTING--commemorating our ancestors' and present leaders' struggles for that
Voting Right
.
VOTING gives us a VOICE.
LET's USE OUR VOTE & VOICE EVERY OPPORTUNITY WE GET!
-------------------------------------------------------------
CELEBRATE The WOMEN In Your Life
:
Give the
WOMEN
in your life their
F
l
o
w
e
r
s
NOW;
while they can still smell them!
Love & Blessing,
Aunt Hatti
