On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, let’s pledge to #educate ourselves and others on #WomenRights and #abuse. Don’t ignore the subtle signs of #domesticviolence.

Female protégés benefit more from male, than female mentors ... 2. Mentors benefit more with male, rather than female protégés.

IWS network remembers our heroes and Sheroes, who sacrificed their lives in line of duty. Wearing a #poppy during #RemembraceDay makes reference to the red poppies that grew from the devastated war zones in France and Belgium in the spring of 1915. Inspired by this, John McCrae who was a medical officer during the 1st World War, penned the Poem called In Flanders Fields Ref: https://www.legion.ca/rememb/the-poppy/history-of-the-poppy
