Protesting is a powerful way to bring people together, shine a spotlight on issues we feel strongly about, and work toward creating meaningful changes.

June 24, 2024 has been designated by women’s groups globally to visually demonstrate the contributions of women in the world. Different groups are focusing on different topics, but the overarching theme is working toward a world where women’s rights are recognized as human rights, every woman is able to achieve her full potential, and where women have access to all resources and are represented in decision-making positions on an equal basis with men.

Organizers of some protests are asking that women strike by not going to work or to school, and that they do not spend money (even one penny!) to demonstrate what a world looks like without the contributions of women. Those who cannot strike are being asked to wear red, encourage other women to do the same, and spread the word.

When an issue is important to us, it’s crucial that we fight for what we believe in to create meaningful change. Find opportunities to make your voice heard and be part of the changes you want to see.
