Embassy celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8 by wearing the traditional fabric made in Burkina Faso.  Throughout the month of March we recognize the contributions women have made around the world to the economy, society and to government.  While we have seen remarkable progress, with women in the highest ranks of business, politics and education, the rights and opportunities for women worldwide still fall short of those for men.  Join the YALI Network or make a pledge on what you will do to make a difference in girls’ lives #Africa4her.
