Hispanic Heritage Month was started in 1968 and happens annually from September 15 through October 15. September 15 is the anniversary of the independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico, Chile, and Belize also celebrate their independence days during this period.

September 20 is HeForShe Day, a social movement campaign created by the UN to promote gender equality. It’s targeted at men to become the agents of change for women’s rights, by being better allies for gender equality, actively listening to women and their perspectives, reflecting on the uneven power and privilege in gender roles, advocating for gender-equitable policies in the workplace, and challenging sexism and speaking up when you hear sexist language being used.
