A driving belief behind my decision to found From Now On was that sport can be a vehicle for a more inclusive and sustainable society, beyond the field or court. Leadership though, begins from within. This IWD I encourage sport leaders to commit and take action to change the systems, structures and behaviours within your sphere of incluence. (And then perhaps eat a delicious cupcake because... cupcakes...) #IWD2024 #genderequality #sportsleadership

I wanna share with you a photo I'm proud of that me and Catalina Angheloiu made for the International Women's Day. It is part of our art-inspired sessions, this time taking inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelite artistic movement where women played an important, and yet not thoroughly researched role (see Jane Morris for example). Gloria Steinem, reportedly once explained: "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights." Organizations and groups can #InspireInclusion through action in areas such as: -forging women's economic empowerment -recruiting, retaining and developing diverse talent -supporting women and girls into leadership, decision-making, business and STEM -designing and building infrastructure meeting the needs of women and girls -helping women and girls make informed decisions about their health -involving women and girls in sustainable agriculture and food security -providing women and girls with access to quality education and training -elevating women and girl's participation and achievement in sport -promoting creative and artistic talent of women and girls -addressing further areas supporting the advancement of women and girls #inspireinclusion read more: https://lnkd.in/dpzGisQE

Let the count begin with the 2023 4th high-level Forum on Women, Peace and Security.
