March is a month to honour progress, celebrate achievements, and take action for a more equitable and inclusive world.
International Women’s Day invites us to “Accelerate Action” and to do that Connect is releasing several reports that synthesizes actions to prevent gender based violence. The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination calls on us to combat prejudice and foster justice. While nutrition month highlights the importance of informed food choices and sustainable nutrition for healthier communities.
Let’s unite this March to inspire change, share knowledge, and create a better future for all.
