State Sen. Elaine Phillips recently attended One World Girl’s International Women’s Day Dinner Celebration to commemorate women and girls in the Town of North Hempstead and around the world.
“Organizations such as One World Girl that provide educational and community programs to women to build self-confidence, embrace themselves and transform their lives are crucial for empowering women across the world,” Phillips said. “As a woman, and mother of three daughters, I understand the importance of ensuring women continue to have equal opportunities across the spectrum to grow and compete in our ever-changing world. Thank you to One World Girl and Executive Director Lesley Mazzotta for inviting me to this important, powerful event.”
One World Girl works to be change agents in the world. Through educational programs, community events, scholarships, service projects, global trips and creative endeavors, the organization works to bring girls together from diverse backgrounds, to learn from one another, share their stories, build leadership gifts and explore ways to address and heal the divisiveness in their communities and the world.
International Women’s Day is an annual global event, highlighting women’s achievements throughout history and across nations.
