On International Women’s Day, we celebrate women at every age. Older women are leaders, mentors, volunteers, caregivers, and changemakers. Their experience and resilience strengthen families, communities, & society. True gender equality must include age equality, when older women are visible, valued, and heard, everyone benefits. #IWD #AgeEquality
