Resources
WIT has developed a list of valuable resources to help educate women on key issues and assist them with obstacles they may face. These resources are meant to serve as a basis for determining and identifying the discrimination women may encounter in their everyday lives and act as a foundation of information to encourage women to spark the change they wish to see in the world.
