From IRLC Founder & Executive Director

March 2024

Dear IRLC Community,

March is Women’s History Month. This year’s theme is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.” This recognizes the critical role that women play in working for a future free of bias and discrimination, for equality and peace. Our history is full of women trailblazers fighting for equality in the United States and around the world.

Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady and a true champion of human rights, once said: “Women are like teabags. We don’t know our true strength until we are in hot water.” Isn’t that the truth. Time and time again I’ve witnessed the strength of women in adversity and their determination to work for a more just and equal world.

Civil rights activist Rosa Parks also said, “You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”

Today, in honor of International Women’s Day, I want to recognize the women of IRLC who work everyday for equity and justice for our clients; and the brave women that we represent from around the world who take a stand and make difficult choices to give their families a better life. And all who are fearless about doing what is right.

Read on to see all the ways that IRLC is working for equity, diversion and inclusion in our community

With hopes for peace,
