Day 5:
Today is “International Women Human Rights Defenders Day,” a day to recognize and protect women human rights defenders. We acknowledge that around the globe, women fighting for all human rights for all people and all activists defending women’s rights face specific violations as a result of their advocacy or their gender. We admire and celebrate these defenders for their great acts of bravery and courageous acts of resistance.
