Women\u2019s Equality Day<\/a>\u00a0is celebrated each year on\u00a0August 26th to commemorate the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote.<\/p>\n

Today the observance of Women’s Equality Day has grown to mean much more than just sharing the right to the vote, but also calls attention to women\u2019s continuing efforts toward full equality. Numerous International organisations\u00a0continue to work to provide women across the globe with equal opportunities to education and employment, pushing against suppression and violence towards women and against the discrimination and stereotyping which still occur in every society.
