@WIHERllc @junamathema @KedwineO @ApioSharon14 @chinomso__ @Edwardkatwaza @DrToyinAjao @RashadMassoud @arundati_md @aottosso 1.A5. We must be more accepting. Not everyone is an expert on how to address bias. I believe in the movement and I started my company #WIHERChat to work on diversity, equality and inclusion #BreakTheBias @USAIDdiversity @CREEDinAction @USAIDGender @USAIDGH

@WIHERllc @DrFaramand @junamathema @KedwineO @ApioSharon14 @chinomso__ @Edwardkatwaza @DrToyinAjao @RashadMassoud @aottosso We instruct children on gender, equality. Let’s engage them in positive dialogues on what this is, what it means to them. Let’s show them how we practice this in our lives. Ask them what we can do better to #BreakTheBias #WIHERchat

@WIHERllc @DrFaramand @junamathema @arundati_md @ApioSharon14 @KedwineO @DrToyinAjao @RashadMassoud @aottosso Encouraging women to dare to be;
1. More than what has been sold to them by patriarchal agents.
2. To be more than what they have been taught by the society.
Sharing one story at a time of women who have broken down barriers and recorded success in their various fields.

@WIHERllc @RashadMassoud @arundati_md @junamathema @chinomso__ @ApioSharon14 @KedwineO @DrFaramand @aottosso Social studies and religious teaching did not help my experiences with the bias because their messages were rooted in stripping girls of their sense of agency, adventure, limitless wonders and leadership aspirations.

@WIHERllc @DrToyinAjao @RashadMassoud @arundati_md @chinomso__ @ApioSharon14 @KedwineO @DrFaramand @aottosso Nepal’s laws ensure equal property rights, but society resists change. Even though I handle our property matters, people rarely consider me as the decision-maker. I constantly have to reinforce my authority in personal and official dealings. #breakthebias #wiherchat

@arundati_md @WIHERllc @DrFaramand @ApioSharon14 @KedwineO @DrToyinAjao @RashadMassoud @aottosso @chinomso__ a lot of discrimination is joined with menstruation in my country too.

@WIHERllc @DrFaramand @arundati_md @ApioSharon14 @KedwineO @DrToyinAjao @RashadMassoud @aottosso @chinomso__ … I make sure that men also participate equally. I believe that until men understand the barriers women face, little can be changed. Breaking down the barriers needs to happen together with the help of each gender. (2/2) #breakthebias #wiherchat

@WIHERllc @DrFaramand @arundati_md @ApioSharon14 @KedwineO @DrToyinAjao @RashadMassoud @aottosso @chinomso__ I always make a point of balancing the participation of women and men.

@DrFaramand @WIHERllc this is very relatable Taroub...

@WIHERllc @KedwineO @DrFaramand @ApioSharon14 @chinomso__ @Edwardkatwaza @arundati_md @aottosso @DrToyinAjao But even when both men and women earn, the household responsibilities still primarily fall on women. This includes seeing women as the main caretakers of children. This outlook prevails through generations among both men and women. (2/2) #breakthebias #wiherchat

[Juna Mathema @junamathema]

@WIHERllc @KedwineO @DrFaramand @ApioSharon14 @chinomso__ @Edwardkatwaza @arundati_md @aottosso @DrToyinAjao Nepali society is patriarchal and a woman’s role was limited within her house. This changed slowly as girls started to go to school, work, and take leadership positions. Women took roles beyond the walls of their homes. (1/2) #breakthebias #wiherchat

@aottosso @arundati_md @WIHERllc @DrFaramand @KedwineO @ApioSharon14 @chinomso__ @Edwardkatwaza @RashadMassoud @SushilaChatter1 @DrToyinAjao Invite them to participate in conversations concerning women's issues, talk with them about the biases that they have seen and how it's related to women, and what can be done...
