I am super happy to report that I completed my Gender Analytics for Innovation Course, provided by the University of Toronto 🚀 This course is so insightful when it comes to the intersection of 'all things gender' and business. Often times, the diversity field is still met with a lot of criticism and skepticism and we are asked: "Why is this relevant to my business? Why would I explicitly care?" Well... 😉 Let me tell you from my experiences in my internship as well as the theoretical background I learned about in this course... It MATTERS. You SHOULD care. And it can do absolute WONDERS for your business. ✨ #coursera #courseracertified #diversity #diversityandinclusion

Today we are celebrating women and girls in science! Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education (STEM-ED) plays a pivotal role in driving economic growth. February 11, the #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, highlights the importance of closing the gender equality gap in STEM-ED. Equality in #STEM-ED supports Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition. Excluding women and girls from the STEM-ED pipeline reduces the prospects for a fast-paced energy transition as the diverse perspectives and experiences of women help bring scalable, innovative, clean energy solutions. How can we ensure inclusive participation in STEM-ED to unlock the full spectrum of ideas and solutions? February 11 is about shattering stereotypes, breaking barriers, and paving the way for more #inclusivity. USAID Enhancing Equality in Energy for Southeast Asia (E4SEA) is challenging Southeast Asia to support women and girls as powerhouse contributors to the clean energy workforce. Stay connected for future opportunities. Dive into the realm of possibilities with the #USAIDE4SEA scholarships and internship program. #WomenInScience #GirlsinSTEM #WomeninSTEM #CleanEnergyFuture #ClimateAction #InclusiveEnergyTransition

📢 Advocating for the Rights of Marginalized Communities: Our Collective Responsibility 🌍 I've witnessed firsthand the stark inequalities faced by marginalized and vulnerable populations. Despite progress, over 40% of the world’s population still lacks access to basic rights, services, and opportunities. Our mission is clear: to amplify the voices of those often unheard and to advocate for policies that ensure equity and justice for all. Whether it’s fighting for gender equality, protecting the rights of indigenous communities, or ensuring access to education and healthcare, our work is grounded in the belief that every individual deserves dignity and opportunity. 📊 Did you know? ↪ 1 in 5 children globally is denied access to education. ↪70% of women in developing countries face significant barriers to economic participation. ↪3 billion people lack access to essential healthcare services. These statistics are not just numbers; they represent lives that we, as a community, must strive to uplift. Advocacy is not a one-time act but a continuous commitment to challenge systemic barriers and drive inclusive change. Join us in our journey to build a more equitable world. Let’s use our platforms, voices, and resources to ensure that no one is left behind. #DM to #Connect #SocialJustice #Advocacy #HumanRights #Equity #Inclusion #NGO #SocialDevelopment #Volunteer #Internship #Global #Content #Creators #Media #Communications #DigitalMedia #Marginalised #Religious #India2024 #NGO #NotForProfit #SocialMedia #LinkedIn #SocialSector #Writers #CivilSociety

Luxaviation Group Sustainability Manager | ACA NextGen Group Chair | Sustainable Aviation | Private Aviation | Luxury Travel
Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of returning back to #StanstedAirportCollege, where I presented the recent and inaugural initiative launched by the #theaircharterassociation — the first of its kind: The ACA '75' Internship Programme. ✈ Marking the #75thanniversary of the association, as #Chair of the #NGG, it was a privilege to showcase this rare opportunity, which enables students financially and educationally and prepares them socially for the next stage of their journey. By providing them with the necessary skills and experience, the ACA '75' Internship Programme paves the way for the #nextgeneration and a purposeful entry into #businessaviation. This initiative intrinsically supports #UNSDG4; Quality Education, #UNSDG5; Gender Equality, #UNSDG8; Decent Work and Economic Growth and #UNSDG10; Reduced Inequalities. A core theme that arose from my engagement with the #NextGen was, as anticipated, #sustainability. As an industry, we are continuously striving to achieve higher sustainability; navigating the nuances and embedding more purposeful decisions leading to more environmentally and socially ethical actions. For aviation to be truly sustainable in the #longterm, we need the next generation, and they need us. The ACA calls for all members who are willing to provide this opportunity. Access the resource below to learn more and complete this short webform to register your workplace offering: https://lnkd.in/ebQ9ZYyG #SustainableAviation #SharethePotential
