Wednesday is International Women’s Day. This year, it has also been dubbed “ A Day Without A Woman.” Organizers want women to wear red and to avoid doing paid or unpaid work, as a way to draw attention to gender-pay inequities.
To mark the occasion, State Street Global Advisors installed a temporary statue of a little girl, standing with her hands on her hips, in front of the Wall Street bull in downtown Manhattan.
