Episode Title: Accelerating Action for Women—Beyond the CelebrationFor years, we've celebrated International Women's Day with powerful themes—equity, inclusion, investing in women. But are we truly making progress, or are we just marking another year of conversation without action? In this episode, we go beyond the slogans and hashtags to explore real, tangible ways to accelerate action for women—in our homes, workplaces, schools, faith spaces, and laws.It's time to move faster. It's time to ensure that women are not just included but truly empowered in the spaces where decisions are made. If you're ready to go beyond the celebration and into action, this episode is for you.Listen, share, and take a step—because the time is now.
