#GenerationEquality
“Generation Equality: Realizing women’s rights for an equal future.
Imagine a world where all people have equal rights and opportunities. Women and girls are not afraid of walking home late at night, and men and boys are not trapped in oppressive masculinities. In this world, gender equality is the norm. Men and women get paid equally for work of equal value and share the care work at home.
Imagine equality in political leadership and corporate boardrooms and factory floors. Women have equal say in decisions that affect their lives, their bodies, their policies, and their environment, from villages to cities.
Let’s make this a reality. Join UN Women’s Generation Equality campaign to accelerate gender equality actions and mark the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the most visionary agenda for women’s rights and empowerment everywhere.” ~ UN Women
As PABWA, we are getting involved, by bringing Africa into focus, to help UN Women achieve their mission, for all our benefit. So, everyone has a role to play.
All our voices matter and our actions make it real, so join us to achieve this vision for ECONOMIC equality in Africa, as the goal of the African Women’s Decade of Economic and Financial Inclusion is not going to happen without action and without making our voices heard. Even the smallest of actions can have big impacts to make this vision a reality.
For our part, PABWA has released the “From AFRICA to the WORLD” podcasts talking to African women on stories of how they overcame challenges of inequality, and still do. We will have interactive experiences and give you ideas on how you can action #GenerationEquality for an equal future world in Africa.
