Every year on International Women's Day, March 8, the global URI community celebrates women around the world. Not just on March 8, but every day, many Cooperation Circles are devoted to projects for women, which focus on issues like leadership, domestic violence prevention and counseling, job and skills training, gender equality, education, and preventing female infanticide.
