In many water-stressed areas, girls spend hours fetching water instead of learning. With improved access to safe water in schools + communities, they can stay in class, learn, & thrive. Every girl deserves an education—let’s ensure reliable water access for all! #WorldWaterDay

Today, Iceland celebrates Women’s Rights Day, commemorating June 19, 1915, when women over 40 won the right to vote and stand for parliament. We honor their legacy by continuing the fight: against gender-based violence, for equal pay, and for equality for all women and girls.
