In context of International Women's Day, Costa Rican leaders on Monday signed a decree to create a commission to address the country's unemployment gap.Â

Costa Rica may not have an army today, but Francisca ‘Pancha’ Carrasco gained fame as a warrior. Born in 1816 in Taras de Cartago, she broke the rules for girls by learning to read, write and ride a horse.
