Today, on International #WomensDay – and every day – we fight for a world where women & girls are given an equal chance to succeed. RT if you do too!

[International Rescue Committee - UK @RESCUE_UK]

This #InternationalWomensDay we gave cameras to IRC women working on the front lines of humanitarian aid, so they can tell the world what needs to be done to end violence and discrimination against women & girls.
Watch what they said & Retweet to amplify their voice. #TimeIsNow
