Throughout the world, on March 8, women celebrate International Women's Day. This day commemorate the challenges and struggles women have to face to realize their human rights.

OWDEB, one of our grantees in Bangladesh wrote to us and sent us photos from their celebration. Each year, to honor the day OWDEB organizes a rally and march in Chittagong to support sending girls to school by providing the required uniforms the girls need to go to school.

OWDEB's Chief Executive, Shyamoli Mazumder email us about the event and writes:

Poor mothers are our participants, a mixed awareness and cultural activity keeping the theme for Women and girls child we are observe this day gloriously. At the same time we hope that our fight for equal property rights will [be successful] in this year in Bangladesh, for which we are working from 1995 from our OWDEB through various campaign. It will help us to promote and protect our women's human rights here more effectively.
