Gender equality is a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. Achieving SDG 5 is crucial to unlocking the full potential of half the world’s population. In 2023, the ECLT Foundation made significant strides towards gender equality through several impactful initiatives: Empowerment through Financial Inclusion: In Malawi and Mozambique, we empowered 4,796 women by helping them join savings and loan groups. These groups provide vital financial resources and support, enabling women to start businesses, invest in their families, and uplift their communities. Increasing Household Incomes: In Tanzania, 979 women received training and participated in savings groups, which led to a notable increase in their household incomes. This financial growth translates into better living conditions, improved health, and enhanced educational opportunities for their children. These initiatives are not just about numbers; they represent real, transformative changes in the lives of thousands of women. By providing access to financial resources and training, we are helping to create a more equitable world where women can thrive and contribute to the development of their communities. At the ECLT Foundation, we believe that gender equality is the key to sustainable development. We are committed to continuing our efforts to empower women and promote equality.

Achieving gender equality in the Euro-Mediterranean region is a collective effort 💪🏼 Gender equality is not only about equal pay and opportunities. It’s about co-building a future fit for all of us, where no one is left behind. This is what we aimed for when 120 dedicated individuals gathered in Nicosia, Cyprus for our High-Level #Women4Mediterranean Conference, co-organised with the Office of the Commissioner for Gender Equality of Cyprus. 💡 Key highlights: 🔛 From policy to action: Guided by the 5th UfM Ministerial Declaration on Strengthening the Role of Women in Society (https://lnkd.in/dn7eHniK), we worked to operationalise the declaration’s 2024-2025 Roadmap for Implementation through several roundtables focused on Women Economic Empowerment, Gender Equality and Climate Change, Violence Against Women and Girls. 🔬 Feed actionable policies with research: We were proud to have the European Institute of the Mediterranean present the 1st report resulting from our joint MedWE programme. Each year, we'll publish policy studies to bridge research with public policies to promote women's empowerment in the #Mediterranean. You can read the report here: https://lnkd.in/dcqctDQv 💬 Learning from each other: We heard from regional & national programmes for women's financial & digital inclusion in the region - such as the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi) -  and analysed national good practices from Egypt, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Spain, and Tunisia to improve our approaches towards Violence against women & girls. 🤝🏼 Changing the narrative: we gathered journalists and media representatives from the Euro-Med region to analyse challenges and opportunities for more inclusive narratives, with a special focus on gender, disability and migration. Changing media narratives is vital to challenge stereotypes, and influence social norms. 🙏 Our heartfelt thanks to all speakers, collaborators, and attendees for their invaluable contributions. Together, we are making strides toward a more equitable future for all. 🔗 You can watch the recordings of the conference here: https://lnkd.in/dkxV35AE

♀️The world has often misrepresented women as a minority!! Contrary to this, for example in my country, Kenya, women constitute 51% of the total population. Eliminating gender segregation is imperative through all possible means. At a recent pre-International Women's Day conference hosted by Echo Network Africa Africa, Dr. Jenifer Riria, the founder, emphasized accelerating gender equality achievements. Strengthening institutions supporting women's inclusion, especially in financial matters, aligns with this year's theme, "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress." Understanding the root cause of gender equality challenges was a central focus at the event. A speaker questioned whether celebrating International Women's Day might seem like a mockery due to perceived stagnation. This raises the question: Why is International Women's Day important? 1. IWD symbolizes hope, serving as a focal point during challenging times in achieving gender equality. 2. It revitalizes our aspirations to thrive in all capacities. 3. IWD is not a beginning or an end but a renewal to recharge our energies. 4. It's a day for reflection and strategic planning. 5. IWD is a day for rest. As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's invest in women, propelling progress toward a future where equality prevails, dreams flourish, and energies rejuvenate, fostering a world of true empowerment. #InvestInWomen #SafeguardingGains #EchoNetworkAfrica

I believe in the unlimited power of women in context of Science and Engineering.

Dear community,I am addressing you today to discuss a crucial topic that concerns us all: investing in women and the need to accelerate progress towards gender equality. Women are an essential part of our society, yet they continue to face numerous obstacles and inequalities. It is time to take decisive action to support and empower women in all aspects of their lives.By investing in women, we are investing in the future of our society. Women have a key role to play in building a more equitable, inclusive, and prosperous world for all. Their contributions should not be underestimated or hindered by unjust barriers. It is imperative that we accelerate progress towards gender equality. This requires a firm commitment from each of us, as well as concrete actions from governments, businesses, and society as a whole. We must implement policies and programs that promote the empowerment of women, their access to education, health, employment, and positions of leadership.By working together and investing in women, we can create a better future for all. A future where women are fully recognized, respected, and valued for their contributions to society.I urge you to join me in this collective effort to accelerate progress towards gender equality. Together, we can make a real difference and build a more just and equitable world for future generations. Thank you for your attention and commitment to this essential cause.

🌟 Happy Women’s Day 🌟 On this day at Phambily Analytics, we honour National Women’s Day, marking a pivotal moment in South Africa’s history and the ongoing journey in democracy, now 30 years strong. On this day in 1956, about 20,000 courageous women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, armed with a petition signed by over 100,000 people, to protest the oppressive pass laws of apartheid. Their resilience reshaped our nation's history and continues to inspire our commitment to gender equality and empowerment. 📊 As we champion SDG 5, aiming for gender equality, we leverage data literacy and numeracy as critical tools. Empowering women with these skills is more than an investment in their personal growth; it is an investment in our collective future. Evidence shows that enhancing women's education in data skills significantly boosts their participation in decision-making processes and economic activities, driving sustainable development across communities. 🔗 On Women's Day, let's reflect on our progress and reaffirm our commitment to creating a balanced society where every woman and girl can thrive without barriers. Join us in celebrating the remarkable women of South Africa and the world. Together, we can transform data into action and continue to pave the way for equality and empowerment. #WomensDay2024 #DataForGood #GenderEquality #Empowerment #SDG5 #PhambilyAnalytics 🇿🇦 Elizabeth Rakgotho-Booi (Pr.Nat.Sci) Tyler Forbes Lebogang Moropane Grace Rakgotho
