Quotes:
“A society that will not honor its women is a society that will be lost in the woods for a long time.” ~ Obiageli Ezekwesili.
“Men and boys, we show our manhood through the way we treat our women. Our wives, our sisters, our mothers.” ~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu
“I have a daughter that I would give my life to protect, a wife that means the world to me, a mother that made me the man that I am. Anything that is done for any woman is less than what she deserves for the role they play in our lives.” ~ Bright Okpocha (Basketmouth)

I love the slogan, HeForShe. Wonderful!

Some excellent questions from the link:

Educating women is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty, yet women make up 64% of the world’s illiterate. #IWD2014 #HeforShe

What would you say to a man who thinks educating girls is a waste of time? #IWD2014 #HeforShe

How would it affect world affairs if more women were involved in decision making on the global level? #IWD2014 #HeforShe

Globally, only 1 in 5 lawmakers is a woman. Do you think policy-making would improve if this is more balanced? #IWD2014 #HeforShe

Do you think men have a responsibility in ending gender inequality? Where does that start for you? #IWD2014 #HeforShe
