Women's March on Washington 2017

On January 21st, 2017, Women’s Learning Partnership (WLP) will join the Women’s March on Washington in support of unifying the global women’s movement around shared goals of equality, tolerance, democracy, diversity, and universal human rights. WLP also marches in solidarity against discriminatory family, civil, and penal laws around the world.

In every aspect of her life, a woman's autonomy, freedom, and opportunities are shaped by the degree to which her nation's laws uphold gender equality, and by cultural practices which may limit her ability to participate in decision making at family, local, and national levels.
