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.

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

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.

The recent Gender Equality Symposium showcased an impressive lineup of esteemed speakers dedicated to discussions on equality.  While designing the symposium, We visualized that speakers share ideas for meaningful change, not sticking to one gender and reinforcing that equality is not just a goal but a journey that requires collaboration across all communities.  We are glad that this thought resonated deeply with the speakers, highlighting the importance of unity in pursuing social justice. One standout session featured Aditi Maheshwari, Tara Shanker, and Vineeta Asthana, who emphasized the need for a holistic understanding of equality.  In her address, Goyal articulated an important point: achieving true gender equality requires the inclusion of all segments of society, including men, women, and the LGBTQ+ community. She stressed that equality should encompass everyone. While gender-based crimes against women should be stopped, the same should apply to men and the LGBTQ+ community as well. As discussions continue, the commitment to inclusivity remains a cornerstone of the movement for gender equality. Although not having enough time to discuss #childrights is my regret there is always next time. Only through collective efforts can we foster an environment where everyone thrives. 

McKinsey & Company's Insights on Diversity and Inclusion offer a range of articles and reports on effectively pursuing racial-equity goals, the economic state of Latinos in America, and the experiences of LGBTQ+ employees in the workplace. These insights could help in understanding the broader impact of DEI initiatives on consumer markets and employee experiences

The latest World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Report shows that labour-force participation is improving, rising to 65.7% from a pandemic rate of 62.3%. Women's workforce representation remains below men's in almost every industry and economy, with women accounting for 42% of the global workforce, but only 31.7% of senior leaders. PATHS2INCLUDE is focusing on two important aspects regarding the position of women in the labour market: ➡ Understanding the extent to which gender norms shape not only the likelihood that women (mostly mothers) participate in the labour market, but the characteristics of their employment. ➡Examining whether the increased flexibility in the labour market brought by the COVID-19 pandemic has facilitated the establishment of women in the labour market.

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
