Women on the Bridge: Celebrating International Women's Day: The 100th Anniversary

Celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day


Women for Women International, in collaboration with Google, and other organizations, invites you to join tens of thousands of people coming together on bridges all over the world -- from the Millennium Bridge in London, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, to the Grand Barriere Bridge joining Rwanda and Congo -- to show your support for women's causes and celebrate women's achievements.

For information on bridge walks, or to check in virtually, visit here and here

You also are invited to donate to one of the many organizations that work to improve the lives of women worldwide. See the link below.
