As we celebrate International Women’s Month this March, a big part of the commemoration is encouraging the empowerment of women everywhere. And as women continue to recognize their worth, a key part of the power that they hold is their ability to bring up the rest of the world—especially vulnerable sectors like women and children—along with them.
