Empowering African Women
Although there has been notable progress in recent times, women worldwide continue to encounter numerous obstacles, particularly persistent gender gaps in leadership. For example:
Women comprise less than 30% of the world's scientific researchers.
Globally, only 24.3% of members in national parliaments or legislatures are women, who are tasked with making crucial decisions on significant issues every hour, somewhere around the world.
While there is a record-breaking number of 37 female CEOs in Fortune 500 companies, it still reflects a rate of only 7.4%.
Igniting Leadership in Women
Currently, women stand as the most impactful force for disruption globally. Nevertheless, according to the latest Global Gender Gap Report, the road to achieving gender equality is projected to span 300 years.
The upcoming generation of aspiring female leaders is crucial for realizing the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDG 2030). The urgency is now; it's the opportune moment to ignite inspiration in young girls, guiding them to discover their heroes who instilled the belief that they can achieve anything they set their minds to.
Persist without surrender. Unleash your full potential without restraint. Embrace fearlessness in your mission to transform the world. Every girl merits the opportunity and the empowerment to make a meaningful impact.
Join our worldwide movement dedicated to expediting the rise of future female leaders and igniting inspiration in the upcoming generation of young girls. This bold initiative revolves around equality, choice, and amplifying women's voices on the forefront.
