And that brings me to one final reason to continue to observe International Women’s Day, no matter how many snarky Facebook statuses inquire as to why there isn’t an International Men’s Day. The 51st reason that we must continue to observe IWD: to ensure that the fantastic progress that has been made by women all over the world in the last two centuries continues, for ourselves and our posterity (girls and boys). The fight for gender equality isn’t over in any country, and the only way we’ll keep winning battles is to fight them together. We must fight inequality in all of its forms so that men and women everywhere can lead fulfilling lives freely.

Happy International Women’s Day, everyone. Let’s do it again next year.
