The month of March was replete with news of devastating circumstances, such as the tragic train collision in Greece where 57 people died, which was reported on the first day of the month. Meanwhile, destruction caused by a storm in California, the unrest in France, and mass protests across the world hogged the headlines. On the bright side, the world celebrated women this month. One particular highlight was the story of women increasingly being seen in senior posts in Vatican. There was also the story about how young Afghan women train midwives for out-of-reach villages, while Canada repealed the historic laws targeting women and even LGBTQ community.
