Since its inception in 1971, the holiday has been dimly recognized. I feel that raising the significance of such a critical time in history is a step closer to gender equality. Furthermore, I feel that mandating its importance will promote women’s contributions in all aspects of society. I am asking leaders like you to champion this effort for women so that this day is eminently highlighted. Please visit the petition on Change.org to read more about this effort.
