Celebrated annually on March 8th, International Women’s Day is a day to recognize the incredible achievements made by women in every arena. It’s also a day to reflect on all that remains to be done to achieve gender equality for women everywhere.
For The Little Market, International Women's Day is about celebrating women and finding ways to continue to support women around the world.
International Women's Day is about celebrating women and finding ways to continue to support women. We prioritize working with women and women-led organizations because we know that when women are economically empowered, they have the power to shape the trajectory of their communities.
Globally, when women are able to earn a dignified income, communities change.
In just the past year, The Little Market made product purchases that generated over 350,000 hours1 of dignified work across the globe.
