Why Most GENDER EQUALITY Initiatives Fail ⤸ Many initiatives fall short of achieving true gender equality. And it’s not that they don’t have a true intention… It’s because they often miss the mark on implementation. Here are some reasons why they fall short ⤸ ➜ Lack of diverse voices ➜ Use of one-size-fits-all approach. ➜ Focus on outcomes, not root causes.' But here is the most important one of all: ➜ They do not use incentive structures to make men willing participants! True equality requires understanding the lived experiences of all genders. It requires diverse voices to be heard and valued. So how do we fill the gaps at Commonlands? ⇾ We collaborated with relevant businesses, organizations, and individuals in the region we’re serving. ⇾ We ensure equal access to resources and opportunities for both genders. ⇾ We require entire communities (men and women) to work together towards a common goal. ⇾ We also prioritize user feedback. This is how we build a more sustainable approach to gender equality. What do you think about the Commonlands approach?

On the eve of International Women's Day, it was great to join this webinar hosted by Philanthropy Australia and Plan International Australia discussing Gender Compass, Plan's research into the beliefs and behavours of different segments of the Australian population regarding gender equality. Some of the key points that came up for me were: - At the current rate of progress, it'll take 131 years to achieve global gender equality. That's another five generations to be opressed, subjugated and discriminated against. - Some people in Australia think that gender equality already exists, or that the push for gender equality has gone too far. - Significant minorities, if positioned correctly, can prevent progress. - There are men who agree that gender equality is everyone's problem and support initiatives to address it. So, there's hope, and one is that Gender Compass will be a tool for workers in philanthropy, and any other business, to help shift the balance on gender equality. https://lnkd.in/g_wuJgq9 #philanthropyaustralia #planinternationalaustralia #internationalwomensday #gendercompass #genderequality #131yearsistoolong

A report by Equal Measures 2030 reveals that no country is making sufficient progress to achieve gender equality by 2030. An alarming 860 million women and girls are still living in regions with severely limited economic opportunities, education, health, and overall well-being." Elissa Miolene takes a look at the details of the report. #equality #women #gender

What do young men think about gender equality? Is the issue really less important to this age group than it is to older generations? I decided it was time to pull together the data.

Gender Compass by Plan International is a first-of-its-kind research project which segments the broader Australian public into six groups according to their beliefs, policy preferences and behaviours in relation to gender equality.  The Gender Compass Report was recently released shining a light on Australia’s standpoints and views on gender equity.   The unique segmentation analysis was conducted on data gathered through an online survey of 2,522 Australians aged 16 years and over conducted in mid-202 aiming to shift the dial and shift societal norms.   From those surveyed, some of the key findings included:  ❗ 90% emphasise gender equality's importance  ❓ 41% challenge the notion of achieved equality  ⚖ 77% see benefits in a fair society for all genders  🤝 60% emphasise the importance of collaborative efforts for gender equality.    Explore diverse attitudes that are shaping the conversation on gender equality below!    #CEOSforGenderEquity #GenderCompass #GenderEquity #GenderEquality  

The UN Sustianable Development Goals set a target of achieving gender equality by 2030 - we are strikingly off track. ⚠️ 📊Just 15% of gender equality indicators are on track, with 23% “far or very far” off. ⏱️At the current rate of progress, it will take not just decades, but hundreds of years to achieve gender equality. Without this, for the foreseeable future, girls will remain at risk of child marriage, the law will fail to protect women, and we will not see fair representation in leadership positions. 🤞🏽However, there is hope! The majority of gender equality indicators (62%) are just a “moderate distance” away from getting on track. This means that through intentional effort and even incremental changes, the world could soon find itself in a much more optimistic position in relation to achieving gender equality. This International Women’s Day, let’s reflect on the areas in which we can improve, individually and through our work. Yes we seem to have made progress in recent years, but the data suggests that we need to do much more to achieve true gender equality. #internationalwomensday2024 #iwd2024 #IWD #Diversity #Gender #Inclusion #SGDs UN Women UK

According to a recent report published by the UN, the world is failing at its goal of achieving gender equality by 2030. Currently, women hold only 26.7% of seats in national governments globally, according to the report, and only 35.5% of seats in local governments. At work, women hold only 28.2% of management positions. Thank you for sharing Bradley Schurman as bringing awareness to this inequity and providing resources to support women in underdeveloped countries is key. #genderequality #globalperspectives
