Today is International Women's Day. Started in 1909, the day commemorates the movement for women's rights. To honor this day, the all female a cappella group, Oxford Belles, from Oxford University released a unique take on Cyndi Lauper's 1983 hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.' They renamed the song "Girls Just Want to Have Fun(damental Rights)."
The video features the Oxford Belles singing and dancing with cutaways to Oxford professors and teachers holding signs with empowering messages.
The video also raises awareness for these three charities:
