International Women's Day March 8th

 International Women’s Day Sunday, March 8th

 Give To Gain emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction; it's intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.

 

At work, at home, and in the community, there are many ways to overtly advance women.

 

Give respect • Give donations • Give visibility • Give knowledge • Give funding

Give justice • Give resources • Give a voice • Give protection • Give truth

Give equal pay • Give celebration • Give sponsorship • Give mentoring • Give credit

Give budget • Give introductions • Give workshops • Give opportunities

Give Safety • Give training • Give stretch assignments • Give momentum

Give role models • Give growth • Give access • Give time

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality.

IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911, supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country-, group-, or organization-specific. IWD is a movement, powered by the collective efforts of all.

A note from Debra:

It really doesn’t take much effort to raise your sisters to greatness, but any small effort could mean the world to someone. Simple things like making sure they are recognized for their work, that they feel safe, that they feel heard. Mentoring and pouring truth into their lives. Respect and love. Valuing them. Being a solid friend. Praying for them.

There is no room for jealousy, backstabbing, clawing, name-calling, and stealing another woman’s man. When women have never experienced the goodness of others, the wholesome training and mentoring from another person, or the love of Christ, these things will happen because of a lack of confidence and insecurities. Raise your girls and lift up women to be confident, sure, respected, and valued.  Teach them humility, honesty, and to live a moral life. Teach them strength. Instill in them that they are the Daughters of the most high King!

 

This Sunday, March 8th, reach out to a fellow sister and tell her how much you appreciate her! Pray for women around the world who are being persecuted every day.
