Women's Day

Women's Day

Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep will join US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in New York today for the third annual Women in the World Summit, in honour of International Women's Day.
Hosted by Newsweek and the Daily Beast, the summit will see women from all over the world tell their stories - from escaping a forced marriage, to living in a conflict zone. Jolie and Streep will also speak, paying tribute to the women at the summit, as well as others they have met - and charity founder Lauren Bush Lauren will talk about the success of her Feed project, which has so far provided 65 million school meals for children around the world.
Supermodels Christy Turlington and Helena Christensen are also both supporting today's International Women's Day in their own ways. Christensen wrote for us earlier this week about her visits to Africa with Oxfam, and what she thinks we can do to make life easier for mothers in developing countries struggling to cope with the effects of climate change.
