#GenerationEquality

[UN Women @UN_Women]

At the current rate of progress, it will take up to 100 years before we reach gender equality at a global level.

Today, on our 10th birthday we are asking all of you to join us – together we can get there sooner. #GenerationEquality

If you know any woman who need between 50-200k to start up their business, or funds to boost an existing business. Kindly tell them to apply for this.

Please, share. A woman you know might need this ray of hope in this uncertain time.

Feminists have been fighting to end period shaming. While we still have a long way to go in some of our communities, menstruation is not as stigmatized as it used to be and we can openly talk about it now. What actions you can take in your community to stop period shaming?

[YAWL @YAWL10]

Ladies, how's everyone doing? How have you been affected by the #COVIDー19 ?
Kindly tell us where you are reading this from, how safe you are and what you are doing to protect yourself and your communities.

We are all in this together!🤗

This theme truly defined my Mentees. When someone asked me what I am mostly proud of - My answer is simple, my Mentees! Seeing them excel in school and volunteering to make a change in their communities makes me feel achieved. Rock on girls!

Dear @MBuhari I am surprised you don't 'KNOW' any competent young person below 35 years with character to appoint into your cabinet. It seems you only 'KNOW' 7 women too. Someone needs to talk you about the value of inclusive governance and leaving a legacy as a public leader

An experience shared becomes an asset to everyone. When people share what they are doing and learning, new possibilities emerge. At Raising Voices, nothing is proprietary or private.

[GBV Prevention Net @GBVnet]

It is important for women who are in abusive situations to know they are not alone & that someone cares for them (& their children, if they have any). There are many social, structural & personal reasons that make it difficult or even impossible for women to leave their abusers.

[GBV Prevention Net @GBVnet]

Educating girls and women is a powerful investment that benefits both individuals and society.
