The Women, Business, and the Law 2022 report from the World Bank estimates that 2.4 billion women of working age do not have access to equitable economic opportunities and that 178 nations continue to erect legal obstacles that limit their ability to fully participate in economic life.

SDG Agenda 2030 highlights the crucial need for gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. Unfortunately, the world is falling short in this regard. However, I find hope in the United Nations' call to #InvestInWomen. With 90% of my LinkedIn network consisting of decision-makers in the private sector, there's a tangible opportunity to take action. Let's advocate for policies and initiatives that foster gender equality and create avenues for women's advancement. Actions speak louder than words. Moreover, I personally resonate with this call. It's about each of us stepping up. This year, I'm investing in myself by seeking additional educational opportunities for both professional and personal growth. I invite you to join me in answering this call and #InvestInWomen.

Achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment outcomes requires robust, sustained financing and resourcing. Girls and young women-led organizations, initiatives and groups are leading efforts to tackle women’s poverty and inequality. However, they are running on empty, receiving a meagre 0.13 per cent of total official development assistance. On the International Women's Day 2024, join Young Female Influencers-YFI in sending the message across to increase in funding and resourcing for girls and women-led organizations.

I know it's not International Women's Day until Friday... But.... why can't we have an entire week of awareness? 🤷♀️ The problem is big enough to warrant it. The United Nations have neatly packaged up the facts about gender inequality: 💸 An additional $360 billion is needed per year to achieve gender equality. 👭 Closing gender gaps in employment could boost GDP per capita by 20%. 👩⚕️ Closing gaps in unpaid care work between men and women, and expanding paid care services could spark almost 300 million jobs by 2035. (Link in comments) When we support and invest in women everyone wins. 👏 Everyone wins 👏 --- So this week, Untangld are celebrating our network of exceptional female talent. We've asked everyone for one piece of advice that you'd like to give to your younger self. These messages are to inspire and uplift the next generation of talent, and to help raise awareness that we still have a long way to go. I'm going to kick things off with my advice in the comments.... 👇 How you can participate: 💬 Engage with our wonderful women in the comments. ♻️ Hit repost if you relate, or feel inspired. 📭 Create your own posts with your advice and Untangld will repost you. #IWD2024 #FemaleLeadership #BusinessStrategy Edwina Olver Rachel Bruins Lauren Stoeckel Marina McManaway Lawrence Heath Jamal Cassim Danish Chan James Needham
