International Women's Day

March is Women’s History Month and we are celebrating all month long by highlighting the achievements of women today and throughout history in social, economic, cultural, & political areas on our social media platforms. When communities come together in support of young women’s efforts, we have the greatest success in empowering the next generation of young women.

Girls Leading Girls focuses on women coaching girls in soccer and leadership. While the ranks of women coaches at the top are well known, we believe there is an opportunity for more women to coach younger girls. 

We’re building a system of training, motivation, team governance, and game strategy that helps girls develop the leadership skills and confidence to make an impact in today's world. When girls are educated, healthy, and empowered, families are healthier. 

This celebration is emphasized during International Women’s Day on Sunday March 8th. International Women’s Day 2020 (a.k.a. #IWD2020) campaign theme this year is #EachforEqual.

“We can collectively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women’s achievements.. So let’s build a gender equal world. Equality is not a woman’s issue, it’s a business issue. Gender equality is essential for economies and communities to thrive. A gender equal world can be healthier, wealthier and more harmonious - so what’s not great about that? The race is on for the gender equal boardroom, a gender equal government, gender equal media coverage, gender equal workplaces, gender equal sports coverage, more gender equality in health and wealth… so let’s make it happen. Let’s be #EachforEqual.”
