"Because, you know, I believe we are stronger together and we will go forward together. And you should never, ever regret fighting for that. You know, scripture tells us, let us not grow weary of doing good, for in good season we shall reap.

March 8 is International Women's Day. This year's theme is #BeBoldForChange. International Women's Day was first observed in the United States in 1909 (on February 28) and has evolved since then.

International Day of the Woman and Girl is marked by the United Nations; the 2017 theme is "Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030," based on the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
