Happy International Women’s Day 💜
Celebrating strength, resilience, and brilliance everywhere.

Feliz Día de la Mujer 💜
Hoy y siempre, honramos el poder de las mujeres.

As International Women’s Month comes to a close, we celebrate the strength, leadership, and impact of women everywhere 💜

We are honored to spotlight our very own Head of Spanish Cooperation, Violeta Domínguez Acosta, whose leadership continues to champion and empower women across all spaces—at home, in the workplace, in schools, in business, in the academe, and in government.

Here’s to breaking barriers, uplifting voices, and creating opportunities for every woman to thrive.
