Happy International Women’s Day!
We celebrate the contributions of women everywhere helping build a better world. Our hearts go out to Ukrainian women and all those affected by the war against their country. Women and girls are disproportionately impacted by conflict. Offering them safety, protection and support is critical. We applaud the brave Ukrainians fighting the invaders and those brave Russians who have been demonstrating against this war. We must all do what we can to help.
