#AfricaWomenDay "An additional $12 trillion could be added to global GDP with greater female workforce participation—an impact too significant to overlook! Beyond the economic benefits, the social impact extends from individuals to families and communities. A great example of this positive change is the 'Sewing for All' project by our #ArtandCultureFoundation. Read more below to see how it's transforming lives and creating new opportunities!" Mitrelli Menomadin Foundation #womenpower #women #GenderEquality #CSR #WomenEntrepreneurship
The World Economic Forum estimates that advancing women's employment could add $12 trillion to global GDP and significantly boost African countries' economic output. The 'Sewing for All' initiative in the Ilha de Luanda community exemplifies this potential by empowering women with essential sewing and business skills. This project not only enhances women's economic participation but also reinvests 50% of the cooperative's sales into their salaries, with the remaining funds sustaining the initiative. On July 10th, the #ArtandCultureFoundation, Mitrelli's social responsibility unit, operated by the Menomadin Foundation, celebrated the achievements of this initiative with a ceremony at the Wyza Amphitheater. The event featured a vibrant fashion show where participants showcased garments they crafted, highlighting the skills they've acquired. We extend our gratitude to our partners, especially Hiroshi Yamamoto, General Manager at Textang II managed by ALCAAL GROUP, for attending the ceremony and supporting us in this journey. This initiative plays an important role example in providing women with necessary tools and opportunities for success, contributing to global goals for gender equality and economic and social development. Creating a self-sufficient community of entrepreneurs, 'Sewing for All' builds a supportive network that fosters financial independence and long-term growth. #AfricaWomenDay #Mitrelli #SewingForAll #WomenEmpowerment #LocalEntrepreneurship #GenderEquality #CSR #Angola #CommunityDevelopment @Menomadin #FundacaoArteeCultura

Fatia Maulidiyanti, member of Indonesian NGO Komisi untuk Orang Hilang dan Korban Tindak Kekerasan (KontraS) and FIDH Vice-President answered the question 👇 “What is the main obstacle you encounter in your work to promote recognition of women's rights?” As defenders of human rights throughout the world, FIDH Vice-Presidents are all confronted on a daily basis with society's reluctance to fully assert women's rights. FIDH unites and supports those who fight for a fair and just world. KontraS, FIDH member organisation in Indonesia, is a working group set up in 1998 by civil society organisations and community leaders. Its mission is to raise public awareness of the importance of respecting human rights and to fight against the various forms of violence and flagrant violations linked to the abuse of power by the State: abductions, enforced disappearances, etc. KontraS is particularly active on behalf of victims in Aceh, Papua and East Timor. #humanrights #Indonesia #FIDH #womenrights #women

[VIDEO] The launching of "Those Not Left Behind" book stands as an important milestone in our collective pursuit of a more inclusive society in Indonesia. This collaborative effort between the United Nations, Indonesian ministries, and our partners shares the narratives of 22 areas deeply impacted by this collaboration. These stories embody the essence of the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs), promising not to leave behind anyone. From guardians of Riau's peatlands to advocates for gender equality, these tales honor the resilience and innovation of the Indonesian people. They shine as beacons of hope, urging us to ensure the marginalized are heard and supported. "Those Not Left Behind" transcends mere success stories; it's a testament to the strength of cooperation and the significance of upholding human dignity in development. Valerie Julliand, the UN in Indonesia Resident Coordinator, aptly captures the essence of this transformation. This book serves as a vital reminder that development must uplift every sector of society, especially the most vulnerable. Through sharing these narratives, we aspire to catalyze further action, champion inclusivity, and reaffirm our dedication to a just, prosperous, and sustainable future for all Indonesians.

Did you catch the live session?🤭 As these women leaders alongside our founder Steffi Verna shared the realities of the Maputo Protocol in their countries in Africa since it was established 21 years ago, So far since the campaign began, we have looked at what the Maputo Protocol is and what it says: - African women control their fertility - Elimination of gender-based violence - Women's economic rights (Check previous posts for the posts breakdown) And we have a lot to go on. In regions where the scales are tipped against women because of traditions, conditions, etc., these laws still apply to them. It is our goal that as we continue educating on the rights and laws that support women's empowerment, We empower more women with the knowledge that enables them to be bold, confident, and free to do more and be more regardless of where they live.🧡💜💚💛❤️ #MaputoPourToutes #ClaimYourRights #MaputoForChange #GenderEquality #WomenRights #HumanRights

🇱🇦 So, why is #CEDAW so crucial for us, the #Women of #Laos? 🤔 1. ⚖️ Legal Framework: CEDAW provides a comprehensive framework for governments to follow, ensuring that women's rights are recognised and protected. By ratifying CEDAW, countries commit to taking actionable steps to improve the status of women. 2.👩💼Accountability: The treaty holds governments accountable for their actions (or inactions) regarding women's rights. This means that if the Lao government fails to address gender discrimination, they are answerable to the international community. 3.🗣️Truth-Telling: CEDAW powers women by promoting their participation in political, economic, and social life. For women in Laos, this means a chance to have a voice in decisions that affect their lives and communities. Despite these promises, the Lao government continues to ignore its obligations under CEDAW, often fabricating stories about its commitment to women’s rights. But don’t worry, as we prepare to present our very own CEDAW report, we’ll shine a light on these injustices and demand accountability. We refuse to let the government’s empty promises dictate our future! 🔗 Read our Joint CEDAW Report by scanning the QR code and help spread the word.
