On Thursday, March 8, join the the worldwide celebration of International
Women's Day (IWD).

Dear Friends,

On Thursday, March 8, the National Democratic Institute will be PURPLE-ing
our website [1], along with our partners in the Consortium for Elections
and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS), including the International
Republican Institute [2] and the International Federation for Electoral
Systems [3] as part of a joint contribution to the worldwide celebration of
International Women's Day (IWD).

IWD is an opportunity to transform the momentum for women's rights,
equality and justice into action. This year, the United Nations' theme for
IWD is: "Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women's lives
[4]." On this important day of activism, CEPPS recognizes its local
partners in countries around the world as they support the empowerment of
rural and urban women, enabling them to lead and meaningfully engage in the
decision-making that affects their lives.

To celebrate this activism, we will be highlighting six women rural
activists who are leading in their communities. We will also give you the
opportunity to test your knowledge on what you know about rural women. You
can visit the IWD page [5] on March 8 to find out more.

Also, please join us in celebrating IWD by wearing PURPLE on THURSDAY,
MARCH 8, and posting photos on social media. Post using the hashtags
#IWD2018 and #CEPPS to explain why equality matters for building
sustainable democracies. And don't forget to tag @IFESGender [6] @IRIglobal
[7] @NDIWomen [8] and @CEPPS [9].

Thank you,

Sandra Pepera
