Gender equality doesn't just happen. It requires constant work and attention. Initiatives like Global Board Ready Women prove there are plenty of qualified women for top jobs. In the same time, the EU's new directive creates conditions for more talented women on boards.

It doesn’t just happen because men and women are not the same. This kind of equality is artificial.

Europe has delivered for gender equality. For pay transparency, more women on boards and freedom from violence. But the path to full equality is still long. It requires attention and commitment every day. And from every one of us ↓ #IWD2024

Young HINDU GIRLS should be cautious of such women who spread the poison of toxic feminism in the society in the name of religious preaching & motivation. According to women like these GENDER EQUALITY means that men should do women's work and women should do men's work.

Women’s rights are human rights. And investing in women and girls is one of the surest ways to make the world a better place Yet, progress on gender equality has been slow and uneven. It’s time to take action and deliver the equality our world so sorely needs. Women and girls are changing the world. Let’s change the world for women and girls.

I have always been a firm advocate for women's inclusion in governance and decision-making. My commitment to gender equality is unwavering because I believe that a society thrives when women are actively involved in shaping policies and leading initiatives. It is imperative that we take legislative action to secure women's participation in politics. One of the key steps toward this goal is mandating that party delegate selections include women, this is not just about fairness; it is about ensuring that the voices of half our population are heard in leadership spaces. Beyond policy discussions, I have consistently highlighted the challenges women face within governmental structures. Many women in leadership positions hesitate to speak up, often out of fear or societal pressure. This must change. We need structural reforms, including the creation of special seats for women and the enforcement of laws that guarantee at least 35% representation in governance. We must break down entrenched gender stereotypes and cultural barriers that have kept women on the sidelines for too long. At the 69th Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69), global leaders—including UN Secretary-General António Guterres—reaffirmed the need for more women in leadership. The UN has made significant strides in achieving gender parity among senior leadership by expanding the search for qualified women, proving that when given the opportunity, women lead with excellence and impact. My participation in the Nigeria Women’s Day event at CSW69 is yet another step in my relentless advocacy for gender equality. The fight for inclusion is not just about women—it is about building a more just and prosperous society for all. I will continue to push for systemic change, and I encourage every Nigerian woman to take up space, raise her voice, and claim her rightful place in governance. Together, we can make a difference, not just in Nigeria but on the global stage. Ireti Kingibe, Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)

When we talk about gender equality we must also focus on how much impact we are making. Are we really moving forward? Here's my speech in the European Parliament on the EU's priorities for the 70th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

We are nearing 80% women on our production line. And it shows in our productivity. Why? Women come in, focus on their work, and get it done. There is no ego, ghutkha breaks or cigarette runs. There is more: - attention to detail - openness to learning This creates a positive, happier and a calmer work environment. We keep men where heavy lifting is required. But the heart of our production line today is women. 💪

Over 100k Icelandic women protested today for gender equality. There are only 360k residents in Iceland. They didn’t go to work, they didn’t go to school — they protested for the same rights as men. THIS is how it’s done.

This Marine (Free.as.can.be ) recounts his time in Afghanistan and how the women there were so oppressed and would get beat just for looking at the Marines that were on patrol there. These are the same type of men with the same type of thinking that have come to America. They want to do the same things to the women here. Yet we have liberal white women supporting these Muslims running for office in this country. Talk about Chickens for KFC!
