Critical elements of the built urban environment – relating to access, mobility, safety and protection from violence, health and hygiene place disproportionate burdens on women, girls, and minorities of different ages and abilities. In honour of National Women’s Day in South Africa, let’s explore how we can incorporate Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) principles in urban design to create safe, inclusive, and equitable public spaces.  🔗 bit.ly/3ytobkM

The 'Gender Mainstreaming Toolkit in Waste Management in Kenya,' by Sustainable Inclusive Business Kenya is a great resource on how to support and uplift women in waste management. As a female founded social enterprise, we can relate to the difficulties of being in this sector. It was also fantastic to read about other women led businesses in waste management, particularly in Mombasa. The toolkit is a great reminder for all of us to continue to encourage and support women to become leaders in a sector that is dominated by men. RegisTree wants to highlight the proposed 10 best practices in policy and advocacy to enhance gender equality in waste management: 1. Adopt and implement gender-response strategies within organizations and businesses. 2. Promote inclusive work environments. 3. Ensure equal access to financing and income generation opportunities. 4. Promote access to health and hygiene for all regardless of gender. 5. Ensure zero-tolerance to gender based violence and harassment. 6. Promote equal training, skills development, and awareness programs. 7. Promoting leadership roles for both men and women. 8. Flexible work arrangement for mothers. 9. Establish gender mainstreaming champions at the grassroots level. 10. Formalization of the informal sector players. At RegisTree, sustainable waste management is our call to action and this is only achievable with gender equity and inclusivity. #wastemangement #genderequity #inclusivity #community #alternativelivelihoods #wealthnotwaste #watamu Fardosa Mustafa | Madaraka Katana | Leigh Anne Lane

International Women's Day has been celebrated since 1911 and holds great significance for gender equality and women's rights. This day provides a platform to raise awareness about equality, equity and inclusion across sectors. On International Women’s Day 2024 I’d like to take the opportunity to recognise all the great mahi our health and safety wāhine do every day to improve health and safety outcomes for people at work across New Zealand.   Women in Safety Excellence NZ (WISE) was established in 2010 to create a space to empower women working in health and safety and we continue to support the advancement of women in the health and safety profession.   We need more young women who see health and safety as a valid career option, more who are supported by their managers into leadership roles, and more who have the confidence to take a stride into governance positions where wider change is made possible. #womeninsafetyexcellence   

The latest World Bank study delivers a sobering truth: no country has achieved true equality for working women. Despite progress, systemic disparities persist worldwide, hindering women’s advancement in the workforce. Childcare and safety policies significantly hinder women’s ability to work, impacting global GDP potential. Despite legal reforms, implementation lags, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. We must prioritize policies and initiatives that empower women, break down barriers, and promote inclusivity. Let’s unite in the fight for gender equality. Together, we can create a world where every woman thrives professionally. Read more on https://lnkd.in/gtGvWcZZ #GenderGap #WorkforceEquality #BreakingBarriers 🚀👩💼
