Gender equality is a fundamental human right and a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. Despite progress in recent years, gender-based violence and discrimination persist in various forms, impeding the full realization of the rights and potential of women and girls globally.
The Gender Equality Now initiative aims to address these challenges by advocating for the eradication of gender-based violence and discrimination. This initiative is grounded in the recognition that achieving gender equality requires targeted efforts to eliminate all forms of violence, discrimination, and harmful practices against women and girls.
Gender-based violence and discrimination are pervasive, affecting individuals across all ages, backgrounds, and socio-economic status. These injustices manifest in various spheres of life, including the workplace, educational institutions, public spaces, and within communities and households.
To create lasting change, the Gender Equality Now initiative seeks to partner with governments, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders to implement comprehensive strategies that promote gender equality, protect the rights of women and girls, and create a safe and inclusive environment for all.
By challenging societal norms and addressing root causes, this initiative endeavors to build a future where every individual, regardless of gender, can live free from violence and discrimination, and have equal access to opportunities for personal and professional growth.
The Gender Equality Now initiative recognizes that the journey to gender equality requires sustained commitment, collaboration, and continuous advocacy. Through its multifaceted approach, this initiative seeks to mobilize collective action to accelerate progress towards a more just and equitable society for all.
