The newly released 2024 SDG Gender Index from Equal Measures 2030 showcases a stark reality: no country is on track to achieve gender equality by 2030. Critical areas such as education, health, and economic empowerment are still deeply unequal, and the data highlights 8 looming crises affecting women and girls globally. 📊 The report underscores: • Rising threats to women’s political participation and leadership • Gender-based violence showing minimal signs of decline • Widening gaps in education and healthcare access • Growing economic inequality and labor force participation disparities • The disproportionate impacts of climate change • Persistent barriers to sexual and reproductive rights • Rising challenges in peace and security for women • Systemic data gaps undermining progress on gender equality At Women Moving Millions, these unprecedented times fuel our ambition to do more. We must work relentlessly, unapologetically, and collaboratively to move capital faster, and more effectively, to the most urgent issue areas that affect women and girls. Now, more than ever, we must challenge entrenched systems of inequality and work collaboratively for transformative change. Join us in mobilizing resources and driving impact. The time to act is now.

📖 Congratulations to the visionary authors behind "The Uprising of Women in Philanthropy"! This groundbreaking book showcases the power of women-led philanthropy and the enduring legacy we're building together. We’re especially proud that Helen LaKelly Hunt and Chris Grumm are among the authors of this important work. Their leadership and vision were instrumental in the early days of Women Moving Millions and our original campaign. Our CEO, Sarah Haacke Byrd, whose quote is featured in the book, sums it up perfectly: the success of communities like WMM “shows what happens when you combine the power of feminist leadership and community; the impossible becomes possible.” The journey is far from over, and we invite everyone to join us in pushing for lasting change. Together, we can be the engine that supercharges the movement for gender equality. Order the book in print or read online: https://lnkd.in/e9aKwDXq
