Delawareans mark International Women's Day

On the eve of International Women's Day, an asset management company placed a statue of a little girl in front of Wall Street’s iconic charging bull to highlight a lack of gender diversity and equality in the workplace.

In Maryland, schools in Prince George's County closed for the day after some 1,700 teachers and 30 percent of its transportation staff requested leave for the day.

In Washington, D.C., thousands of women sporting red, the symbol for the day, began gathering at Freedom Plaza — home base for a women's rally.

Other women under the hashtag #WeShowUp went about their day, choosing to highlight the ways that "showing up" contributes to their workplaces, homes and communities.

No matter your politics, International Women's Day has been dominating the social media conversation. In Delaware, it has been no different, with posts from organizations like AIDS Delaware and the Delaware Art Museum to people like Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki and Sen. Tom Carper. Here's what they're saying.
