March 8th is International Women's day. It is a " global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of
women past, present and future",
For ICROSS International women's day is an opportunity for us to recognise the many women who work in ICROSS and run our programmes. Most of the volunteers, interns, community leaders and project heads are women.
Most of our programmes work closely with our wide network of women's groups and community based organisations.
International Women's day is being marked by recognising the dedicated heroism and committment of our partners and teams.
We are celebrating Motherhood, enterprise and learning in the communities we are serving. Our Mother and child health programmes have been the centre of our public health work for over 25 years. All over the World the 8th March is marked and in many countries it is a national holiday. The extraordinary work being provided by women taking the lead and initiative is happening in every home, village and town across the World. Please look at our Annual report for details of our Womens projects and activities. 2010 is going to be an exciting year of new challenges and chances to work towards equality and opportunity.
