Tomorrow, March 8 is International Women's Day.
Concern Worldwide has published a booklet to mark the day. The booklet highlights case studies of what the agency is doing to facilitate the improvement of the lives of women in the countries where it is working.
"When women are empowered and can claim their rights and access to land, leadership, opportunities and choices, economies grow, food security is enhanced and prospects are improved for current and future generations."
Michelle Bachelet, Under Secretary-General and UN Women Executive Director
