#IWD2025 This International Women's Day, we recognize the strength of #women —both seen and unseen 👁️🗨️ . From unpaid domestic and agricultural work to workplaces built for mainly men’s physiology and career paths, to inadequate healthcare and social services—the GENDER DATA GAP makes WOMEN’s experiences INVISIBLE. These biases don’t just limit opportunities; they shape policies and reinforce inequality. ✊Yet, women persist. They fight for rights, safety, and opportunity—often from the shadows, pushing against discrimination, violence, and systemic barriers. Dr. Neermala Luckeenarain’s "Woman Behind the Curtain" artwork captures this quiet force. The figure, both hidden and revealed, symbolizes the countless women shaping our world despite being overlooked. #Artist/#Printmaker Dr. Luckeenarain’s work challenges outdated perceptions of women as objects or commodities, advocating for their protection from harassment and discrimination. Let today be a REMINDER for urgent action ‼️What can we do? 📊 Help Close Gender Data Gaps – Mandate gender-inclusive research in healthcare, urban planning, and workplace to ensure policies serve everyone—not just men. ‼️ Apply an Intersectional Approach – Develop policies that consider how race, socio-economics, aging, and disability intersect with gender, ensuring solutions address the needs of all women, especially the most marginalized. 📢 Foster Awareness & Advocacy – Educate institutions and individuals on gender bias, challenge the label of “minority” for women, demand inclusive language, and take a stand against violence, forced child marriages, and systemic inequities. Equality isn’t inevitable—it’s intentional. #AccelerateAction 🙋♀️ 💜 [Dr. Neermala Luckeenarain, originally from Mauritius, completed her Post Graduation at Sir J.J. School of Arts in Mumbai, earned a Master’s degree from Brighton University in the UK, and received a PhD from Savitribai Phule Pune University in India. With over 100 international and national exhibitions, her work is featured in collections both locally and internationally. Since 2004, Dr. Luckeenarain has focused her art on the status of women. Her powerful message highlights the resilience of women who have shattered barriers and forged their own paths despite significant challenges. She is a strong advocate for protecting women from sexual harassment and discrimination.] Arts for Global Development, Inc. | art4development.net #NeermalaLuckeenarain #TBT TreasurePostcards Project'08 #arts #Art4Development #femaleartist #womanartist UN Women #internationalwomensday #womenempowerment #IWD #gendergap #dataequity
