But just in case you missed it - it's International Women's Day

Dear John

At Equality Now, we know that social change often begins with legal reform. That’s why we use the power of the law to lay the foundations of enduring equality for women and girls around the world, today and every day.

Women and girls cannot lead lives of their own determination if they are treated as second-class citizens under the law. Many countries have not updated their laws in decades, and sexual violence is still treated as a taboo subject. That's why we advocate for laws to be amended to ensure that ALL sexual violence is prosecuted by the state and that perpetrators are held to account.

Did you know that just 1.6% of all U.S. charitable giving supports organizations that advocate for women and girls?

While this number may be startling, it also means that as a supporter of Equality Now you have a chance to make a real impact with your contribution. ([link removed])

At Equality Now, we know that people working together can change the world. Since our founding in 1992, supporters like you have enabled Equality Now to:
* Abolish over 60% of the sex discriminatory laws we’ve highlighted in our work since 2000.

* Amend the definition of rape from force-based to consent-based in Mexico’s proposed sexual violence bill.
* Secure the first-ever convictions under FGM laws in Burkina Faso, Egypt, Kenya, and Liberia.

From Bolivia to Georgia, from Kenya to Lebanon, from the United States to India, there is so much your support helps to make possible, and there is still much work left for us to do.

To help mark International Women's Day, I hope you’ll join us in making a generous gift, or even a recurring monthly gift ([link removed]) , to help ensure we can continue critical efforts to ensure women and girls around the world can live safe, fearless, and free.

Because together, we can make equality reality.
In solidarity
