It’s time that all of us see gender as a spectrum as an alternative of two units of opposing beliefs.” – Emma Watson

Let’s close gender gaps in all spheres and dimensions-Social, Cultural, Political, Economic Education, Workforce, Promotion & Position, Leadership, Pay & Wages, Division of Labour, Health, Domestic Responsibilities, Safety & Security- create equal opportunities everywhere.

#GenderEquality is key to accelerate sustainable development in a progressive society. Having a balanced view always yields greater results- be it home, society, or workplace which comes from having perspectives from male and female leaders to ensure that men and women have an equal chance to contribute both at home and in the workplace, thereby enhancing their well-being and that of society.
