March 8th 🇳🇴💃🏼🇮🇳
Gender equality stands at the core of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet, according to the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2023, achieving gender parity will take another 131 years.
As we approach 8 March, we're excited to shed light on the journey of Kristin Andresen and the inspiration behind her remarkable initiative, Sunder Rang.
At the World Economic Forum, Union Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani emphasized the need to normalize conversations around women's challenges. India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has made significant strides with the construction of 110 million toilets. Additionally, for the first time in our nation's history, there's a dedicated administrative protocol for menstrual hygiene management established by the central government.
Gender equality remains one of the greatest human rights challenges of our time. Investing in women isn't just a moral imperative; it's a fundamental step towards building inclusive societies. Progress for women benefits us all.
Listen to our special podcast episode on March 8th, where we delve deeper into these crucial conversations.
Let's continue striving for a world where every woman and girl can thrive!
