Friday, March 8th, was International Women's Day, a day to highlight the inequalities women face daily. To celebrate this day, I wanted to highlight the US Women's National Soccer Team's fight for equal pay after years of clear and evident discrimination and inequality at the hands of the US Soccer Federation. This is just one moment of women getting equal pay, but demonstrates a much greater issue worldwide: The Gender Pay Gap. Today, and everyday, we have a duty to ensure all women are equal to each other and to men.
