Entity reports on a little girl’s International Women's Day letter to the principal will inspire you.

A 10-year-old girl is already set to take up the fight for equality, writing a letter to her principal explaining why she will be absent on March 8.

Laura Moreschi shared the letter on Twitter, posting, “Talking at dinner last night about civic engagement and my 10 year old wrote this letter to her principal. #DayWithoutAWoman.”

In it, the little girl shared her plans for activism on March 8, which in addition to being International Women’s Day will be the date of the “A Day Without a Woman” protest.

“I am going to write a letter to the editor, contact my congressman, and do whatever I can to make my voice heard,” the young activist shared. She even planned to get her schoolwork ahead of time.

And she’s not the only child getting involved. A Twitter account called @CivicKids has been sharing photos of other inspirational young girls. Many can be seen wearing a T-shirt on which the word “princess” was crossed out and replaced with “president” so it read: “Future president.”

They also shared instructions on how to make Suffragette-inspired sashes to be worn on A Day Without a Woman. They decorated theirs with “Wee the people,” a slogan from a company of the same name, which aims to educate children about politics.

A Day Without a Woman seeks to recognize the enormous value of women – of all backgrounds – on our socio-economic system, despite receiving lower wages and great inequities, vulnerability to discrimination, sexual harassment and job insecurity.

The day is also meant to recognize that trans and gender nonconforming people face heightened levels of discrimination, social oppression and political targeting.

To celebrate A Day Without a Woman, the website suggests:

1. Women take the day off.

2. Avoid shopping for one day (with small, women- and minority-owned businesses the exception).

3. Wear red in solidarity of A Day Without a Woman.

So those who cannot afford to refrain from work on March 8 can still show their support by wearing red. The event follows the successful Women’s March, which showed that an “army of love greatly outnumbers that of fear, greed and hatred.”
