  1. International Women’s Day: Don't Let Anyone Tell You How Far You Can Go

    - Inter Press Service

    BARCELONA, Mar 04 (IPS) - Leire Gurruchaga Iraola is Gender Specialist at Educo, described as a global development and humanitarian action NGO with over 25 years' experience working to defend children and their rights, and especially the right to an equitable and quality education.

    The data – with its sexism and its gaps – shows us that many of the barriers girls experience are determined merely by their gender.

    This inequality, present in all societies, is by far the most widespread bias. At Educo we are determined, like the women and girls we work with, to put a stop to this injustice. And not just on International Women's Day March 8, but every day.
