To be part of #Action4Equality Campaign, you can promote women’s public participation by challenging harmful gender-based social norms and advocating for policy changes that promote gender responsive policies, practices, processes and platforms that ensure women’s full and equal participation in public life. Actions can be done as an individual, with a group of friends, with family members and with work colleagues. The campaign actions can also be done as an organisation or company, at your workplace, at family level, at your church, in your community, online and in person.
Gender social norms are deeply ingrained in our society driven by some belief systems and practices that marginalize women, silence women’s voice, discourage women from taking up leadership positions participation in development and decision-making, normalizing violence against women leaders and aspiring leaders, resist women’s leadership, voice and action for equality as well as punish women who speak out, participate and lead. Together we can challenge and change them. Through this campaign, together we can:
- Raise awareness about the harmful effects of gender-based social norms
- Stimulate conversations and spark action towards gender equality
- Advocate for gender-responsive policy making that promotes gender equality and empowers women and girls in unleashing their potential in public life
By joining the campaign, you will be part of a collective movement that seeks to create a more just and equitable society for all genders. Your participation will help amplify the voices of women and contribute to a world where they can thrive and reach their full potential. Together, we can make a difference Join us today and be part of the 365 Days of Action for Gender Equality Campaign.
