Happy International Women’s Day!!
Global Sisters Report honors women every day through its coverage of Catholic women religious and their service to God and others in their ministries. Much of the work Catholic sisters do focuses on women: fighting human trafficking, educating girls, helping widows escape poverty and so much more! Thank you to all the sisters and blessings on all women today everywhere!
The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is: “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.”
This year’s campaign is represented by the #BreakTheBias hashtag and calls on people to work towards a world that is equitable, inclusive, and free from bias and discrimination so the playing field is levelled for women moving forward.
“We have today the opportunity to put women and girls at the centre of our planning and action and to integrate gender perspectives into global and national laws and policies,” Sima Bahous, executive director of UN Women, said.

“The sisters took us to their convent in their vehicles, hugged each of us with their love and warmth, gave us food, a warm hall to sleep in and escorted us in the morning to cross the Romania border,” one student said.
