Fiercely Female: Celebrate International Women's Day

You might be surprised at how many people aren’t aware of International Women’s Day, or don’t even consider it necessary. That’s not the case here at the alive office. Women rule the school here. From our passionate writers to meticulous editors to other hardworking staff, we see just how incredible and talented women are, every single day. But International Women’s Day represents so much more than that. To many, inequality is not an apparent problem and women, especially in North America, arguably enjoy some of the greatest freedoms and opportunities available. However,  look closely, and the cracks in the veneer will become obvious. In other words, there’s much more work to be done in the area of women’s rights, and although we need to recognize how  far we’ve come, we must also acknowledge where we still fall short, particularly on a global scale.
