Founded more than a century ago, International Women’s Day honors the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. This year’s theme, Balance for Better, highlights gender parity as essential in all aspects of life — from thriving, global economies to vibrant, local communities. Furthermore, Interna- tional Women’s Day strives to bridge the gender gap by addressing the needs of both women and men, equally. This week, we asked: The XVIII Airborne Corps’ mission requires a diversity of viewpoints to successfully operate in a dynamic and complex environment. International Women’s Day is about finding smart, practical, and inclusive solutions to the missions that our “What woman has inspired nation expects us to accomplish. All across the globe, our Corps protects citizens and creates opportunities for women to excel; which contributes to the stability, security, and prosperity of entire nations. you during your lifetime?” Today, we celebrate the contributions of women within XVIII Airborne Corps who serve in many diverse roles and leadership capacities. The success of our mission is contingent upon our ability and attitudes in addressing the needs of people, regardless of sex, race, creed, religion or social class. The diversity of our teammates “My stepmother. She is 5 feet tall but makes us unified, stronger, and better. Not every citizen of the world enjoys the privileges and rights of a free society very powerful like a mighty Chihuahua. — International Women’s Day is a call to action to combat gender inequality and She is incredible and I don’t give her violence against women.

PARAGLIDE

Fayetteville Technical Commu- nity College (FTCC) Arts and Hu- manities performed Black Comedy by Peter Shaffer, Saturday. The play is a one-act comedy that involves the use of different lighting scenarios to help tell the story. Mark Davio played the main character, Brindsley Miller, who spends the play replacing items he “borrowed” from a neighbor’s apartment before the neighbor discovers the items are missing. Brindsley must move the objects in the dark, as a blown fuse has caused the power to go out in his building. Brindsley’s attempts to move the objects are impeded by visits from Photo by Alyson Hansen/Paraglide friends and his girlfriend’s father.
