SUPPORT WOMEN’S MOVEMENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS A growing number of organizations have been set up to tackle women’s inequality and gender-based violence. One recurring problem they face is the issue of proper funding. Funding is crucial to achieving the goal of gender equality and women’s rights. You can visit your local fundraisers to find out if they also champion the cause. Or you can search for women-specific organizations in need of such funding. Your donations will go a long way. According to the UN, “gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is not just a goal in itself, but a key to
sustainable development, economic growth, and peace and security.” That goes without saying—society gets better for everyone when women’s rights are upheld and taken seriously. The civil and fundamental human rights of all can only be fully upheld when we have an all-inclusive society. One hundred years after women gained suffrage and with a growing number of women in the workforce holding elected office and running for president, the time for drastic societal changes explicitly guaranteeing equal rights regardless of sex is long overdue. There is more work to be done. It is a continuous struggle, but we will not be deterred. Together, we shall achieve greatness all for one and one for all!
