Big up to the women out there who face the struggle every day!

To the women working 2 jobs to raise their children, to the women battling women's cancers, to the women pregnant and unable to get an abortion, to the young women being forced into marriages, to the women being sold into the illegal sex trafficking trade.

It's easy to say 'Happy International Women's Day!' and leave it at that, but if you really want to 'celebrate' it, listen to the women in your life, listen to their stories and understand their struggles, and try and put yourself in their shoes and get an understanding of the many things we face everyday! Not at all a criticism of this thread, I'm just saying!

My wish as a woman today, is that you all go and speak to a woman in your life and just listen to her, ask her about her struggles - but also her accomplishments and dreams and aspirations.

Thank you to all the strong women out their paving the way for the rest of us, but thanks as well to the women just treading that path!
