Saroni Roy Foundation’s Post

Happy International women's day from all of us at Lagos Food Bank♀️ We at Lagos Food Bank Choose to challenge gender inequality, domestic violence against women, practices that restrict access to empowerment opportunities and resources for women and unequal human rights. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Together, we can join hands against these vices and create a better future for ourselves. #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion We celebrate you!!! #THISISNOTALAGOSSTATEPROJECT #lagosfoodbankinitiative #sdgs #unitednations #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #socialimpact #socialresponsibility #sustainability #sdg1 #sdg2 #communitydevelopment #climateaction #lagosfoodbankintiative #charity #Africa #zerohunger #poverty #stophunger #zerohunger #charity #childhunger#ngo #agenda2030 #obamaleaders #iwd2024 #inspireinclusion

Every year on February 20th, the globe unites to observe the World Day of Social Justice, advocating for equality and inclusivity. This year's theme, "Bridging Gaps, Building Alliances," emphasizes the pivotal role of collaboration in addressing global issues. It urges the promotion of social inclusion, cohesion, and the fight against discrimination. Let's use this day as a catalyst to work towards a fairer and more just world for everyone. The Indian Constitution ensures social justice through provisions for equality and freedom. On World Day of Social Justice, the government raises awareness about issues like poverty and discrimination. NGOs empower marginalized communities, collaborating with agencies and grassroots organizations for equality. They advocate for vulnerable groups and address societal inequalities, striving for an inclusive society. Guided by the Constitution's principles, NGOs complement government efforts, bridging divides and fostering compassion for a more just society. 1NGO Trust stands as a central repository for 1200+ NGOs across India. Visit https://lnkd.in/dycx3Hvx to explore organizations dedicated to various causes. If you're inclined to support their causes, we encourage you to consider making a donation. #SocialJusticeDay #IndianConstitution #EqualityForAll #NGOImpact #InclusiveIndia #Empowerment #EqualityMatters #JusticeForAll #SocialChange #CommunityDevelopment #1ngowebsites #ngodirectory #Worldsocialjusticeday #feb20 #diversity #humanrights #equity #community #justice #identity #action #awareness #socialimpact #voting #discrimination #economical #political #socialrights #opportunities #caste #religion #race

Today, we serve communities in six countries where poverty and gender inequality lead to exploitation and suffering of all kinds. We combine education, training, and the provision of essential care services to ensure a sustainable vision of empowerment. At the heart of our work is a holistic solution, “Education & Training + Care = Empowerment”. 🌠💃🏻💫 #nonprofit #empoweringgirls #accesstoeducation #sustainabledevelopment

Gender inequality is a serious concern in Pakistan. The patterns like climate change have worsened Pakistan's development problems, leading to higher levels of poverty, inequality, and frequent natural disasters. Even though the nation's HDI ranking hasn't changed in the last three years, a complex web of sociopolitical vulnerabilities, economic hardship, and climate crises is having an influence. And women are being affected disproportionately by all of this. On the 2022 Global Gender Gap Index published by the World Economic Forum, Pakistan is ranked 145th out of 146 nations, while on the 2022 Gender Inequality Index published by the Human Development Report, it is ranked 161st out of 191 nations. The need to carefully investigate the elements causing Pakistan's current gender inequality is urgent. #genderequality #equality #womenempowerment #womensrights #womensupportingwomen #humanrights #equalrights #femaleempowerment #diversity #equalityforall #education #womenempoweringwomen #sdg #genderequity #empoweringwomen #genderroles #strongwomen #ngo #charity #nonprofit #education #donate #volunteer #help #support #donation #fundraising #socialgood #socialwork #dogood #humanity #nonprofitorganization #hope #seharsultanaorganization

It’s International Women’s day today and the theme this year is inspire inclusion. There are many women whom I admire and owe gratitude to both inside and outside of work, peers, reports, leaders, relatives and friends. Too many to name for one post so instead I’m going to take the opportunity to share some thoughts on why we still need international women’s day in hopes that it inspires more inclusion and participation through increasing awareness. According to the World Economic Forum global gender report which benchmarks the current state of gender parity on 4 key dimensions- economic participation, political empowerment, health and survival and educational attainment, at current rate of progression we are 131 years from achieving gender parity. This assumes no setbacks like the ones we experienced in the pandemic. Read that again and take a moment to think what it means to be less likely to survive, have good health, be able to go to school, vote, and work simply because of your gender. These are still real issues all around the world in all countries represented in this report. What can you do to help change things? - Educate yourself around how bias shows up in all walks of life and how it impacts others around you - Take action - donate to women’s charitable causes to drive change in areas where inequity is present. I chose to donate today to Wellbeing of Women a charity dedicated to female health research given the stat that only 2% of medical research budgets are spent on women’s health 🤯 - Be an Ally and lift others up as you climb. We can’t get to parity on our own and the world will be better for it. - Educate your kids since they will be the generation who could and should see it happen in their lifetime if we accelerate progress #iwd24 #inspireinclusion https://lnkd.in/eHnapjyT

As Sri Lanka walks into another year of untethered impunity, corruption, and rising nationalism, the call for support is urgent. A wave of conscious support from international funders is crucial to support the resistance and resilience of women, trans, and non-binary activists at the frontlines of feminist movements. There are three ways we can do so: 🇱🇰 Strengthen the capacities of grassroots movements and networks. 🇱🇰 Encourage dedicated focus on sustainability and inclusion. 🇱🇰 Embrace intersectionality and changing contexts. #humanrights #feministactivism #humanrightsactivist #srilanka #funders #philanthropy #humanrightsdefenders

We’re proud to share our recent B1G1 impact donations in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals ‘Gender Equality’ and ‘Responsible Consumption and Production’! 🌏 Fullers has funded 800 days of business training for women in Uganda via Five Talents UK, and 100 days of regenerative farming training for farmers in Indonesia via Health In Harmony. In total, this brings our impacts to over 36,000. We believe that our purpose goes beyond high quality fulfilment. It extends to helping end poverty, fighting inequality and tackling climate change. See how our impacts have been distributed so far > https://lnkd.in/eGk_RM2p #B1G1Impact #BusinessForGood #SustainableDevelopmentGoals

Climate change affects agricultural economic systems in many ways. It directly impacts crops and livestock, livelihoods, land and ecosystem services, but it also indirectly increases insecurity and conflict in local and regional contexts. This is particularly relevant for emerging economies and vulnerable groups who are involved in any agricultural value chain. These increasing challenges call for adaptive and innovative perspectives that integrate climate adaptation, mitigation and resilience, as well as gender and social inclusion, into the traditional theories and approaches of development. I am excited to join the SODEFIKA III project in Chad as a consultant, and look forward to be working together with my colleagues at NIRAS International Consulting and other partners to support the development of sustainable and resilient market systems that benefit both people and the planet. 🌱 #msd #ruraldevelopment #agriculturedurable #sustainabledevelopment
