It is time to shape a better future for women. 

Women's Equality Day, observed on August 26th each year in the United States, commemorates the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920, which granted women the right to vote.

This day holds significant importance for several reasons. Women's Equality Day is a way to honor the progress that has been achieved, acknowledge the ongoing challenges, and inspire collective action toward a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

"U.S. Ranks 43rd in Gender Equality: A Women's Equality Day Call to Action" written by Gloria Feldt, Co-Founder and President of Take The Lead, gives us a brief history of how the U.S. granted women the right to vote in 1920. Yet research like Global Gender Gap Report by World Economic Forum shows us that there are setbacks to gender parity that caused the U.S.’s dismal rating on the gender parity index.
