On March 3, the Senate passed, by unanimous consent, a resolution supporting International Women’s Day (S. Res. 90).
Sponsored by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), the resolution contains a number of findings, including:
The resolution “reaffirms its commitment to ending discrimination and violence against women and girls, to ensuring the safety and welfare of women and girls, and to pursuing policies that guarantee the basic human rights of women and girls worldwide” and “honors the women in the United States and around the world who have worked throughout history to ensure that women are guaranteed equality and basic human rights.”
