For International Women’s Day, we are amplifying a report from McKinsey & Company that offers an intersectional look at the specific biases and barriers faced by Asian, Black, Latina, and LGBTQ+ women and women with disabilities, and provides clear guidelines that organizations can implement to make meaningful progress toward gender equality and equity.

As Pride Month draws to a close, let’s reflect on Peppermint's powerful reminder: "Diversity and inclusion can't be transactional and superficial." Much like the fight for gender equality, it’s not limited to just one month of the year. Peppermint emphasizes the importance of genuinely understanding the needs and desires of the entire community. Every demographic includes individuals from the LGBTQ+ community, and it’s crucial to hold ourselves and others accountable in fostering true inclusivity. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eaZJnuYd

This Women’s History Month, we are celebrating alongside our LGBTQ+ community with pride, joy, and so much love 🧡 May this Women’s History Month be an opportunity for us all to pay tribute to the strength, resilience and diversity of ALL women across every spectrum, orientation and background. May it also be a reminder that the fight for women’s rights and gender equality is far from over. While we have seen unprecedented progress made toward Title IX and the right to vote, many across the world — including trans women — continue to face a system of oppression deeply rooted in hatred, misogyny, and transphobia. As the fight for gender justice enters a new chapter, one with a commitment to intersectionality and inclusivity, let’s show up together to speak out on inequality and celebrate the incredible impact that so many women changemakers, glass-ceiling breakers, and boundary pushers have had on LGBTQ+ history and community.

Check out this resource on the powerhouse women who have made history but rarely get featured in Women's History Month content. Feel free to download the doc and share however you'd like! #womenshistorymonth
Women's History Month often overlooks the stories of LGBTQ+ women (especially trans women), BIPOC women, and disabled women. To address this gap, we've compiled a document highlighting the achievements of just a few of these women throughout history. We encourage you to take a moment to read and share the attached document, helping to amplify the voices of those whose stories are too often left untold. As we honor the progress made, let's also acknowledge the work that still needs to be done to achieve true gender equity. Together, let's continue to advocate for a more inclusive and equitable world for all. #womenshistorymonth

Today is International Women's Day of Women's History Month where we honor how LGBTQ women are driving innovation and investment. Research has proven that when women are actively involved in financial decisions that impact them and their future, everyone benefits. In fact, almost 90% of women believe that money can be a tool to help them fulfill their life's purpose. This Women's History Month, and every month, we strive to empower LGBTQ+ women on their path to greater purpose and support them in reaching their goals. LGBT+ VC is dedicated to helping achieve greater financial and gender equality. #InternationalWomensDay #WomensHistoryMonth #Innovation #Investment #Empowerment #GenderEquality #FinancialEquality

On July 19-20, 1848, the Seneca Falls Convention launched the women's rights movement. As we honor this milestone, it's vital to acknowledge its exclusion of women of color, highlighting the need for intersectionality in our pursuit of gender equality. At She Leads Justice, we prioritize addressing intersecting oppressions faced by women of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and marginalized groups. Our fight for justice IS interconnected and inclusive. Learn more about Black woman suffragists throughout American history: s.si.edu/3VW2frl #SheLeadsJustice

The federal government is supporting the inclusion of Black and LGBTQ individuals in Canada's workplace equity laws. Women aren't just a checkbox in workplace equity; they're the driving force behind real change. It's time to amplify their diverse voices, recognize intersectional challenges faced by Black Women, Indigenous women and women of colour and intensify efforts for substantive equality. The call is clear: it's not just about ticking boxes; it's about dismantling barriers. #WomenInTheWorkplace #Diversity #DEI https://ow.ly/VBXL50Qipwo
