As we celebrate how far we have come, let us not forget those who have been left behind. Yes, there are still girls and women whose well-being and future is threatened by harmful cultural practices. Yes, a sanitary towel is still a luxury for millions of girls and women. And yes, some women have still not found the courage to escape the violence that is a threat to their lives. As we mark International Women’s Day on Monday, March 8, let us not forget these women in the march forward.
