Throughout March, in honor of International Womens Day, the U.S. Embassy Athens will showcase the work of nine women who are #ExchangeAlumni, that is to say, that have visited the States on U.S.-government sponsored programs and in the video will demonstrate the positive effect that their exchange experience has had on the respective communities that they represent.
The women all come from different regions of Greece (Attica, Macedonia, and Thrace) and work in different fields. Each of the four films in the series shows a different sector where women make a difference.This is part of the State Department’s broader #BeBoldForChange campaign pledging support for working toward better opportunities for women and girls. Commemoration of International Women’s Day reaffirms the U.S. commitment to promoting gender equality and advancing the status of women and girls around the world.
