As International Women’s Day comes to an end, we must always keep in my mind gender bias and continue the fight for women’s equality around the world. On Tuesday, Jessica Alba shared a photo with her daughters Honor, 13, and Haven, 10, with a touching statement.
“As a mama of two daughters, I am constantly fighting to leave this world better than I found it - not only for them, but for every single person in the world and for the next generations of girls to come. Like all mothers, I want to #breakthebias so my children can have the opportunity to chase their dreams regardless of their gender,” Alba wrote.

“At the end of the day, we’ve come a long way, but we still have a lot of work to do. I firmly believe we all must do our part to continue to hold open the door for all women to be part of the conversation and part of our leadership teams. Words of support are no longer enough. We must act every day and keep gender equality at the forefront of our work,” the mom of 3 continued.
Alba and her husband Cash Warren are the parents of Honor, Haven, and their youngest son Hayes. They also recently welcomed 2 puppies into their life. In January, Jessica shared a photo with the family of 7, “& all the sudden - I became a mama of 5,” she wrote in the caption, adding, “meet our new [dog] babies Dolly and Lucy (short for Lucille and Dolores.”
