Women's rights are under attack and "we must fight back," United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday, warning that the world cannot stand by as progress is reversed.

Thirty years after world leaders adopted a historic blueprint to achieve gender equality, a new United Nations report says women’s and girls’ rights are under attack and gender discrimination is deeply embedded in economies and societies.

Dozens of people gathered in Blacksburg on International Women's Day to advocate for women's rights, emphasizing the importance of continued progress in the fight for equality. The march traveled through Virginia Tech's campus and carried a clear message: women's rights matter.
