(Excerpt) Salesian Missions, the U.S. development arm of the Salesians of Don Bosco, was among the church-based groups celebrating International Women’s Day on Saturday, March 8.

The annual international commemoration honors “the economic, political and social achievements of women while focusing the world’s attention on areas requiring further action,” the group said.

This year’s theme was “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment” with a call for action “that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all and a feminist future where no one is left behind.” A cornerstone of this, the Salesians said, “is empowering the next generation — youth, particularly young women and adolescent girls — as catalysts for lasting change.”
