International Women's Day, held every year on March 8, is a global event that honors women and pushes for equality and women's rights. To celebrate, you'll want to spread the word on social media about its message of justice. Whether you craft something of your own or retweet a post from a nonprofit, it's important to remind people how they can help move the women's rights movement forward.
