On Tuesday, March 8th, women from Australia to Afghanistan, <a style="text-decoration: underline; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; cursor: pointer; color: #587380; border: 0px initial initial;" href="http://www.google.com/events/iwd2011/" target="_blank">Google</a> to the <a style="text-decoration: underline; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; cursor: pointer; color: #587380; border: 0px initial initial;" href="http://www.columbian.com/news/2011/mar/03/international-women8217s-day-kicks-y-series/" target="_blank">Clark County YWCA</a> will celebrate International Women's Day. We believe that one of the best ways to grasp the impact of these celebrations and events is to see them in context. So, for our coverage of International Women’s Day, we have created this <a style="text-decoration: underline; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; cursor: pointer; color: #587380; border: 0px initial initial;" href="../../main" target="_blank">interactive map.</a> How it works: If you have photos, video, quotes, news reports or events from the day, send it to us. Click "Submit A Report" above and fill out as much information as you can. We'll be on the back-end all day, parsing the news and posting your reports to the map.  Who we are: Women, War and Peace is a collaboration between THIRTEEN and Fork Films that aims to challenge the conventional wisdom that war and peace are men’s domain and to place women at the center of an urgent dialogue about conflict and security. Women, War & Peace will focus on women’s strategic role in the post-Cold War era, where globalization, arms trafficking, and illicit trade have intersected to create a whole new type of war. We will present our groundbreaking message across the globe using all forms of media, including U.S. and international primetime television, radio, print, and web. PBS is proud to be the first to bring this conversation to primetime national television. Planned for broadcast in the fall of 2011, Women, War & Peace will be the most comprehensive global media initiative ever mounted on the roles of women in war and peace.
