The Guys From Our Team Are Here To Support International Women’s Day!

International Women’s Day is the day we celebrate the social, cultural and political achievement of women. It’s a day for celebrating our mothers, wives, daughters and sisters who make the world a better place.

But let’s also be aware that Women’s day is not just about celebrating progress once a year. Women’s day is also a reminder of the daily struggles and the injustices women face throughout the world. Let us not forget the women who are treated as second-class citizens and deprived of their most basic human rights, the victims of domestic abuse and human trafficking. Women still earn less than men and have a restricted access to education and medical aid in many countries. More than ever there is an urgent need to move forward with gender equality.

So please, visit http://www.internationalwomensday.com/ and participate in #PledgeForParity

The gentlemen of the Editorial Team would like to celebrate Women’s day and show their own support with music. Here are x playlists for every taste to remind everyone of the contribution women have made (and make) to the music world.
