To celebrate the International Women’s Day, Brazil Fund publicized on its website and on social media, stories of women activists who defend human rights in different parts of the country. They rely on the Fund’s support toaddress violations and defend a fairer society.
Celebrated on March 8, the date has motivated thousands of women to use social networks to demand equal rights and reaffirm that this is more important than flowers or chocolates.
