Women have always been caregivers, advocates, researchers and changemakers.
This Women’s Equality Day, we’re celebrating the women who continue to strengthen children, families, and communities, both in their homes and through their work.
From mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and other kinship caregivers to social workers, researchers, educators, advocates and leaders, women are making a lasting impact on the lives of children and families every day.
Today, we recognize their contributions, their voices and their commitment to creating stronger, more supportive systems for everyone.
