And 2 sites that FPN is boycotting:
InternationalWomensDay.com is run by Aurora GCM Limited, a private company, and while they have heeded our call not to refer to themselves as the official IWD website, they still use the phrase “The International Women’s Day” to describe their website which simply isn’t true, there is no such thing and it is a wholly unacceptable affront to women everywhere for a non-public entity to use International Women’s Day as an opportunity for cause branding.
InternationalWomensDay.org, run by the Women’s Information Network (WIN) seems to be geared primarily towards promoting WIN-run for-profit events.
