yes, women are human beings too.

In honor of International Women’s Day - March 8, 2016

Every year we come together on the streets of Los Angeles, as well as in various cities across the nation, the weekend before March 8th to celebrate. We celebrate women, our cultures, and our efforts towards change. This event calls attention to international women’s rights including domestic violence, sexual assault and harassment, trafficking, homophobia, transphobia, deportation, and poverty. International women’s day is a day devoted to all women — to not only acknowledge our resistance and survival but to help the world recognize it and celebrate it too. It is an amazing day filled with hope and strength; these photos from our rally and march on March 6th, 2016 in downtown Los Angeles help to tell our stories and our experiences.
