"This year’s theme captures the vibrant

 

life of the women activists whose

 

passion and commitment have

 

won women’s rights over the

 

generations, and successfully brought

 

change.  We celebrate an  unprecedented

 

global movement for women’s rights,

 

equality, safety and justice,

 

recognizing the tireless

 

work of  activists who

 

have been central to this

 

global push for gender equality."
