A group of young leaders and changemakers from around the world have developed a Girls’ Pact for the Future setting out their vision for a world where 👇🏾 👉🏽 Gender equality is a reality 👉🏽 Stereotypes and biases rooted in racism, colonialism, patriarchy and other forms of oppression are dismantled 👉🏽 Boys are raised to respect and value girls as equals 👉🏽 Everyone grows up seeing a version of themselves in positions of power 👉🏽 Technology is used as a tool for inclusion and empowerment 👉🏽 Accountability for commitments is taken seriously by governments 👉🏽 Peace prevails. Conflict resolution is prioritised, and diplomacy is valued over violence 👉🏽 All persons, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity are fully accepted and equal in society To do this, governments must start by listening to their voices. #FutureGirlsWant Find the reports here: https://lnkd.in/ehkFbQNJ

Women’s rights. Women’s empowerment. Equal rights. These are just a few phrases you might hear if you asked someone what gender equality means to them. For young women and girls across the world the answer is simple. They want to see equal rights for women and men. This International Women’s Day, join all of us at ChildFund Australia in celebrating the new generation of young women and girls who are raising their voices to create a more equal and inclusive world. – Margaret Sheehan, CEO #internationalwomensday2024 #internationalwomensday #iwd2024

In my recently completed thesis on feminism in Korea, I explored various cultural expressions that align with and endorse feminist perspectives. I particularly focused on analyzing movies and songs that exhibit themes supportive of gender equality, shedding light on their nuanced contributions to the discourse surrounding feminism in the Korean context.... #gender equality #feminism.

International Women's Month Commemoration "Gender Equality and Transfomative Education" I had the privilege of engaging in a meaningful conversation with a group of youths about the importance of gender equality and its impact on our society. The experience was not only enlightening but also inspiring, as it highlighted the power of dialogue, education, and advocacy in shaping attitudes and driving positive change. The experience in providing advice on gender equality reinforced the belief that change begins with education, awareness, and open dialogue. By encouraging critical thinking, challenging ingrained biases, and fostering empathy and understanding, we can create a more just, diverse, and inclusive society where individuals of all genders are valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. #genderequality #transformativeeducation #youth #SDGs #Agenda2063

Universidad del Valle de México's (UVM) Center for Public Opinion released a study titled "Women: Perspective on Rights, Justice, and Violence in Mexico." The study examines both progress and persistent challenges toward gender equality, revealing that although 70% of participants acknowledge the contribution of feminist movements in raising awareness and influencing government action, there remains a significant disparity in rights and opportunities between genders.   The study shows mixed views on gender equality: 55% of participants see equal rights for men and women, and 60% believe Mexico lacks equal opportunities—a sentiment more common among women (74%) than men (46%). Social media is deemed crucial by 78% for highlighting injustices, underscoring its impact on women's rights advocacy.

Last year, at the midpoint of GAP III, we examined its implementation in three local contexts: Morocco, the Philippines, and Kenya. 🔎 Our research found that common challenges that persisted across all three of the case studies. To overcome these challenges and maximise GAP III's impact, a truly gender-transformative & intersectional approach is needed! 💪 This means: 🤝 High-level political support for #genderequality 🗣️ Meaningful dialogue with women's rights orgs 📈 #Gender mainstreaming in EU #externalaction 👀 https://lnkd.in/eda5KGzX

"Gender and Intersectionality" course was held online at the University of Iceland, which focused on examining the perspective of gender influenced by religion, culture, social class, race and nationality. In addition, protest movements such as feminism and womanism were discussed in adjusting the presence of women in patriarchal societies. The specific terms known in gender were discussed and how the increasing changes in its acceptance were taking place. It was an excellent course with very interesting and important topics taught by the University of Iceland and The Gender Equality Studies and Training program GRÓ GEST. #Mehraneh_kouch_Peydeh #Gender_and_Intersectionality #Univetsity_of_Iceland #GRO_GEST
