Rotary International is calling on Rotarians to observe this year's International Day of Peace Sep. 21 by empowering girls around the world. Girls and women worldwide are faced with immense inequities in areas including health and education, and experience significant violence and disproportionate poverty.
One of Rotary International President Mehta's Presidential Initiatives is "Empowering Girls", he wants members to focus their efforts on empowering girls and ensuring their access to education, resources, services, and opportunities so that future generations of women leaders will have the tools they need to succeed. Mehta is asking members to use Rotary's belief that diversity, equity, and inclusion is critical in all we do as a compass to guide this work.
