Mark your calendars for an enlightening event! 🗓️: January 18, 2024. We're gathering in Gurugram for a pivotal workshop: Fostering Future-Ready Workplaces. This event is designed to navigate the path to Sustainable Organizational Growth and Innovation. This workshop is perfect for leaders who are deeply committed to inclusivity and team support. Our aim is to ignite a shift within corporate India, moving away from checkbox tactics and embracing family-friendly policies as core pillars of enduring competitiveness and social sustainability. Workshop Highlights 🌟: Delve into the integration of components from UNICEF's family-friendly policy framework, including parental leave, childcare support, flexible work schedules, and more. Understand how these policies align with the Sustainable Development Goals, promoting decent work, gender equality, and reducing inequalities. Uncover the business benefits of implementing these policies, such as enhanced productivity, innovation, recruitment, and sustainability.

According to a ‘National Survey and Gap Analysis report on Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management: 1. Nearly 50% of adolescent girls (15-19 age group) in urban slums lack access to hygiene methods for managing their periods. 2. 70 % of the girls do not know anything about menstruation when they first experience it. 3. 7 out of 10 mothers lack knowledge about menstruation, making matters worse. The survey was done by the Gender Equality Working Group of C20 in association with Unesco India and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. These numbers are alarming, to say the least, and certainly underscore the huge need to provide proper Menstrual Health and Hygiene education to girls well before they can expect their first period. Mothers on the other hand need to be educated and enabled to answer questions and help their daughters take care of themselves in a responsible way. We at the Education for Good Foundation strive to continue educating children in schools and colleges and encourage you to reach out to us if you have questions or need help.

#funfact for today: Women are more likely than men to seek help for mental health issues, which can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment. However, this also points to the need for reducing stigma around men's mental health to encourage more men to seek help. Currently working on Sustaining Action for Gender Equality, identify the gaps and how to tackle them in immunization to further enhance the elimination of gender inequality in health. thank you Centre for Health Systems Support and Initiatives for Development and SCIDaR for this opportunity. #funfact#funfactabouthealth ✨

Turkey's first Association of Single Mothers has been established. At its inaugural conference, supported by BAUEQUAL, various topics were discussed, including the status and situation of single mothers worldwide, their social and legal rights, social support provided for single mothers by local authorities, challenges faced by working single mothers in the workplace, proposed solutions, the insufficient rights of single mothers in the diversity and inclusivity efforts of institutions, inspiring stories of entrepreneurial single mothers, and the role of single mothers in civil society initiatives. Speaking at the event, Association President Serap YELKENCİ stated, "The launch of the Association of Single Mothers will be a starting point for the fight for gender equality. It is an important step towards putting more effort into creating a society where everyone has equal rights, maintaining this balance, and building an egalitarian future. We estimate that there are nearly 3.5 million single mothers in Turkey. Based on household average data, we estimate that nearly 7 million children are raised by single mothers. These figures do not include those involved in ongoing divorce cases. With the increasing divorce rate, this number increases every year. In the coming years, a large majority of society will be shaped by children raised by single mothers. Therefore, the well-being of single mothers physically, mentally, and emotionally will greatly influence the well-being of society." #SingleMothers #SocietalImpact #GenderEquality #SingleMom #BAUEQUAL

🌸 How are you building your awareness of intersectionality? 🌸 Do you consider intersectionality when building policies, practices and strategies? 🌸 Have you considered how tackling the gender inequality without considerations of racism, class or disability will perpetuate inequities among women? As Australian workplaces take charge to report on their Gender Pay Gaps, we're starting to see momentum towards equitable futures. But it is evident that the lack of intersectional data means that individuals with multiple marginalised identities are being overlooked. We invite you to participate in our workshop which takes you through the important concept of intersectionality and guide you to look at the world through an intersectional lens. What? Introduction to Intersectional Frameworks Workshop (1.5 hours) When? 26th February 12pm AEST time Where?
