The contributions of women to the LGBTQ community go far beyond activism and advocacy. Women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or queer have made invaluable contributions to every aspect of society, from the arts and literature to science and technology.

We celebrate the resilience, strength, and creativity of women who have faced discrimination, stigma, and violence because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We honor their courage, determination, and unwavering commitment to fighting for a world where everyone, regardless of who they love or how they identify, can live free from fear and discrimination.

Today, let us celebrate and uplift all women, including those who identify as LGBTQ. Let us honor their voices, their experiences, and their contributions to our communities and the world. Happy International Women’s Day!
