The court remarked that attaining gender equality necessitated the involvement of all as it is a collective responsibility. The court noted that despite the candidate’s name being placed on the merit list, she was denied an appointment solely because she could not appear for the Physical Efficiency Test due to her pregnancy.

Today, as we mark #WorldPopulationDay, we confront the stark reality that many communities are still grappling with significant access gaps to sexual and reproductive health information and services. This day serves as a reminder to leave no one behind and for organizations and SRHR activists to continue seeking accountability from governments to uphold their human rights commitments to uphold #SRHR4ALL. 🌏 WGNRR wholeheartedly embraces this year’s theme of “Leave No One Behind, Count Everyone.” #SRHR4ALL means everyone, including those systematically disadvantaged due to gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and disability, among others, must be reflected in data and evidence generation. #SRHR4ALL means that everyone must be reflected in global commitments for human rights, sustainable development, and upholding justice. #SRHR4LL means that no one is left behind. Over the past decades, organizations and SRHR advocates have made remarkable progress in collecting and improving data that aim to capture the diverse sexual and reproductive journeys of all women and girls. They share the human stories behind the population numbers and use evidence to inform programs and policies for the advancement of SRHR. Evidence has also been essential to our movement as we continue to seek accountability for and promote SRHR, bodily autonomy, and gender equality. WGNRR joins organizations and advocates around the world in calling on governments and international institutions to commit to improved data collection and monitoring mechanisms to track progress on SRHR indicators, identify gaps in service provision, and inform policy-making and program development so that it is evidence-based, rights-based, and inclusive. Together, let us work towards a future where every woman and girl can make informed choices about their bodies and lives, contributing to a just, equitable, and sustainable world! 📣 #WorldPopulationDay #WPD2024 #WorldPopulationDay2024

#MyHealthMyRight includes bodily autonomy and access to SRHR for all women and girls 👩 👧 This World Health Day, we champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to quality health services. As we witness the global to national campaign to roll back gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), we have to #TakeAStand together to stop the backlash against women's rights. Addressing gendered health inequities is fundamental to driving progress for #HealthForAll World Health Organization

Gender norms and harmful traditional practices, like female genital mutilation and child marriage, negatively impact millions worldwide, especially women and girls. These practices perpetuate inequality, violate human rights, and limit opportunities. Addressing them requires raising awareness and promoting change. Join our webinar to learn more about these issues and how we can work together to create a more equitable society.

Gender equality is intrinsically linked to sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR). Discriminatory health systems that deny women and girls access to SRHR services inevitably entrench gender inequalities. It’s time to upset inequalities! #tobasewo #pamoja #srhr #SRHR

The success of social change programs depends on recruiting staff who are genuinely passionate and believe in the cause they're advocating for. Unfortunately, I have observed that a significant number of staff lack this personal conviction, hindering their effectiveness. For instance, I've have seen many individuals working on critical issues like gender-based violence (GBV) and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) who don't demonstrably believe in gender equality and women and girls' rights. How can we expect to build a more equitable society if those leading the charge aren't fully invested in these fundamental principles? To address this challenge, we need to prioritize recruiting practices that go beyond simply identifying qualified candidates. We should actively seek individuals who demonstrate a genuine understanding of the social issues they'll be tackling and a personal connection to the cause. This could involve incorporating passion assessments during the interview process, prioritizing candidates with lived experience, and fostering a work environment that cultivates continuous learning and engagement. #Social_Change_Programs #Gender_equality #Staff_Recruitment

How can we make the step from going from an understanding how harmful norms of masculinity harm men, to an understanding that also shows the harm of these norms on people of all genders? The world health organisation commissioned a report into how to engage men and boys in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) education. Drawing on feminist and de-colonial approaches, this study examined programmes in 60 countries. It was found that the impacts of harmful masculine norms on men and boys were frequently identified (e.g. increases in risk taking behaviour). Yet, research has neglected how to engage men and boys in gender equality while engaging them in SRHR. https://lnkd.in/eDPcpNEp

"Child Marriage is A Barrier to Gender Equality and a Catalyst for Gender-Based Violence so Let's Break the Chain" Child marriage significantly increases the risk of gender-based violence (GBV). Married girls are often exposed to physical, sexual, and emotional abuse by their partners, who are frequently older and hold dominant power in the relationship. Child brides are also more vulnerable to reproductive coercion, forced pregnancies, and limited access to education or financial independence, reinforcing their dependency. The societal acceptance of child marriage perpetuates harmful gender norms, undermining girls' rights and agency. This practice entrenches cycles of violence and inequality, highlighting the urgent need to address child marriage as part of broader efforts to combat GBV. #THECURE #CURETheWorld #EndChildMarriage #GirlsNotBrides #GenderEquality #BarriertoGenderEquality #BreaktheChain #EmotionalAbuse #ForcedPregnancy #FinancialDependency #UnderminingGirlsRight #ForcedRelationship #ForcedMarriage #CombatGBV

🌟 Empowering Women in the Workforce 🌟 The Supreme Court of India has reaffirmed that two years of childcare leave, along with maternity leave, is a constitutional right for women employees and cannot be denied. 👩👧👦 This landmark decision ensures women have the support they need to balance their professional and family responsibilities. The Court has also directed states to establish committees for policy review to strengthen these rights. ✅ 💡 A step closer to gender equality and workplace inclusivity.
