Happy International Women's Day ♀ Tomorrow is International Women's Day. As we celebrate all the fantastic womxn in our professional and personal lives, we also send our thanks to all the people who have fought for equality in the past and to those who continue to do so 🙏 We have come a long way, but women are still faced with gender-based obstacles across the globe. According to Danner, 118,000 women are subjected to physical and/or psychological domestic abuse in Denmark each year. While women and girls are the main victims of gender-based violence, it also causes severe harm to families and communities. ✋ To mark this 8 March, Moalem Weitemeyer has made a donation to Danner, an organization working to promote respect and gender equality, aiming for a world free from violence against women and children. Danner operates a crisis centre for women and children affected by violence and also works to prevent violence through knowledge and education 🕊 #indifferenceisevil #internationalwomensday #iwd #inspireinclusion #InvestInWomen #accelerateprogress

Right now, gender experts and activists are gathering at #CSW68 UN Women to agree on actions & investments that can advance #GenderEquality. But why is funding so crucial for defeating gender backlash? 💰 Progressive donors are a lifeline to human rights, feminist and LGBTQI organisations, but they don't seem to be a match against the anti-gender juggernaut. In this new paper by IDS-led #CounteringBacklash, Lisa VeneKlasen explores how philanthropic institutions are seeing and responding to anti-gender backlash, and the background dynamic shaping the struggles. Investing in policies and programmes that address #GenderInequalities is widely recognised as a solution to end women's poverty. This is why collaboration among feminist activists and organisers is crucial. #InvestInWomen Read about what donors should be doing in the wake of anti-gender backlash in our new blog, and download the paper 👉 link in comments!

Thanks to Baw Baw men for gender equality. Sharing for reach with a call for allies to support women in your life. Thanks to those who have already donated. This gofundme page has been set up to raise the $1600 for the full page ad going in Warragul Gaz next week. Baw Baw’s Future is Equal! A call to action from Baw Baw residents for fairness and equality. Our vision is equality for all, regardless of gender, culture, age, sexuality and/or ability. Violence against women including, sexual assault and family violence, is both a cause and a consequence of gender inequality. Equality for all is not a current reality and all steps towards equality are important, including how we name our places – our streets, landmarks, parks and monuments. Lack of women’s visibility and agency in leadership contributes to an unequal society. Acknowledging and celebrating women’s, as well as men’s, achievements is a way of building an equal society. Globally and locally, too few public places are named after women. The Place and Feature Naming Policy adopted by Baw Baw Council on 6 March 2024, with its 70% gender target, is a positive move towards fair and equal representation. We are proud that Baw Baw Shire Council have demonstrated their understanding of this barrier to gender equality and have recognised the importance of addressing this issue in our local communities. Three Councillors are now moving to rescind this policy. We see this as a step away from the fairness that our community expects and deserves. If you also feel strongly about this, standing up and taking action will help. Here’s how: 1. Write to Mayor McCabe and the supportive councillors expressing your gratitude, solidarity, and support. 2. Encourage the opposing councillors to endorse the policy and recognise the positive impact on gender equality and violence prevention. 3. Join us at the council meeting on Wednesday 3 April at 12:45pm at the West Gippsland Art Centre to observe the recission motion discussion and/or to speak for three minutes on this crucial issue.

Happy #womensday2024 ! This years theme is; Accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing with a gender perspective. Help ALL women achieve their goals by exploring resources that address poverty and support women. A Women's Place in Doylestown is a favorite of my family as we have raised funds and donated items to help Women of abuse. I have a post it note that says "Find a way to make a difference for someone" as an intention to do good each and every day. Gender equality is a powerful catalyst for reducing poverty and driving sustainable development. By ensuring equal access to opportunities and decision-making for all, societies can create healthier and just economies. #makeadifference

How can we show our support for women today and into the future? #IWD This year, United Nations has chosen #InvestInWomen as the theme. Feminist organisations receive only 0.13% of official development assistance, according to the United Nations. Showing support for women today and into the future can take many forms, both on an individual and collective level. Here are some actions you can take to help remarkable charities and organisations that invest in, empower, and advocate for women 👉 Gender equality isn’t a women’s issue—it’s a human rights imperative that benefits us all. Let’s use the power of social media to drive tangible change.
