Have you ever considered how different the world would be if we lived in a gender equal society? Where women and girls everywhere were educated, earned equal wages, could own property, make decisions about their bodies and lived freely from violence and discrimination.
This isn’t just about human rights – it’s essential for creating a better world for us all. When women are empowered, they can reach their full potential, contribute to their communities, foster creativity, innovation and drive positive change. We all benefit when women thrive.
But we’re not there yet. Ordinary individuals taking action for a fairer future have won us huge victories for women’s and girls’ rights over the centuries, now it’s our turn. Every one of us can make a difference in creating the equal world that each woman and girl deserves.
Today we are asking you to take a stand against gender inequality. Add your name to this pledge.
