The world we are living will change fast, especially on the gender front. Not just in theory, which we have been discussing for over 60 years, but in practice at a mass level. It's a long journey from female awakening, to women's empowerment, to gender inclusivity to finally a gender free world. Different countries in the world are on different stages of this journey. Happy to collaborate with anyone on these issues in marketing or to impact social change. Kathryn Jenkins MBA great to see the passion behind the purpose. We made a small step towards the same in India 8 years back. Below is also a link on the same. #intertwined #intertwinedbrands #consulting #marketingconsultancy #advertising https://lnkd.in/dj7mcUbn

💢 There cannot be true diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging - as well as empowerment - if people continue excluding Muslim women, specifically veiled women, from participation in society. Women wearing the veil have been continuously made feel invisible and have had to fight their way through to achieve things in life, often at the expense of their mental health, because the fight is unfair, biased, prejudiced. If we talk about empowerment but deny access to it to a group of people, we aren't advocating for genuine empowerment but are promoting exclusivity and supremacy instead. If we are talking about equality for all but leave out a group of people - veiled Muslim women in particular - because we either do not understand their way of life or do not hold any regard for them - we aren't truly advocating for equality. In the context of current events we cannot have a conversation about antisemitism if we also do not address islamophobia. Both are horrible, but if you only focus on one and leave out the other, you are not being inclusive. And people tend to mostly ignore islamophobia because they tend to disregard the most affected demographic (veiled women). If we continue to promote one group of people over the other, we won't be making a big change in society at all - but will be creating gaps and only furthering already existing isolation. For years now Muslim women in general, and specifically veiled women, have been told to stay in their niche. But guess what ... that niche grew so big it's spilling over. We are certainly not going away and certainly aren't going to stay silent when we see injustice. But we have a message to every other DEIB advocate - you either include us already or take a careful long look at yourself. Because you are lying to the world by pretending you care for everyone. There's no polite or politically correct way of saying this. If your advocacy doesn't improve conditions for marginalized groups in society, Muslim women being one of those groups, your advocacy is a fraud. These women never asked to be outcast. In fact, all we've ever wanted is to be acknowledged and to belong. By denying us our right to visibility and representation, you are rejecting everyone else who doesn't fit the mold. Either we are all in this together, or we are going to call it for what it is - a lie. © 2008-2024 Camilla Stein #Islamophobia #deib #inclusivity #equality #participation #visibility #empowerment #humanconnection #muslimwomen #islamintheworld #antisemitism #thinkaboutit #womensuppprtingwomen #hypewomen #newleadership #leadershiplessons #leadership

Boni Paul’s talent on the football field was undeniable. He led his team to victory in the National Championship finals, scoring the winning goal in a dramatic finish. Boni's exceptional performance raised questions. He underwent a gender test, a common practice in women's sports at the time. The test revealed Boni was intersex, meaning his body has characteristics of both sexes. This discovery would shatter Boni's dreams. Intersex identities are more common than you might think. Estimates suggest 1 in 2,000 babies are born intersex. There are many variations of intersex traits, some apparent at birth and others emerging later in life. Boni's life took an unexpected turn. He faced discrimination and even violence after being removed from the women's team. However, Boni's story doesn't end there. Boni emerged as an advocate for intersex people, co-founding Intersex Human Rights India (IHRI) to fight for the rights of others. Today, Boni coaches football and speaks openly about his identity, inspiring many. This story is part of a series of 25 articles on livelihoods under lockdown, in partnership with PARI network. #livelihoodstories #equalopportunities #intersexawareness #inclusivesports #livelihood #bcf

It fills my heart with joy to witness the incredible impact of Usha Silai Schools on the lives of women in our communities. These remarkable women have not only learned the art of sewing but have also emerged as confident leaders, thanks to the nurturing environment provided by Usha Silai Schools. 🚀 Taking Charge with Confidence: The journey of these women is truly inspiring, as they have transitioned from learners to leaders with an innate sense of confidence. The skills acquired through Usha Silai Schools have not only opened doors to economic independence but have also instilled a powerful self-assurance in them. 🌈 Fostering Healthy Communities: What's even more heartening is witnessing these empowered women taking the initiative to enhance the well-being of their communities. Recently, they have embarked on a mission to revive and organize traditional sports in the villages. This not only celebrates our rich cultural heritage but also encourages a lifestyle centered around health and well-being. 🏞️ Nurturing Tradition, Promoting Health: The efforts to organize rural traditional sports play a crucial role in promoting a sense of community, fostering teamwork, and instilling a love for an active and healthy lifestyle. Through these initiatives, Usha Silai School women are not just sewing fabrics; they are weaving the fabric of a healthier and happier society. #UshaSilaiSchools #EmpowerWomen #CommunityLeadership #HealthAndWellbeing #SkillBuilding #TransformativeChange #ushainternational #traditionalsports #ruralsports

"🏆 FEMINIST WIN 🏆 Turkish Women’s Volleyball team is now ranked #1 in the world after winning the European Championship 🏐 🇹🇷 On September 3, the Turkish Women's Volleyball team (@tvforgtr) won the 2023 CEV Women’s European Volleyball Championship for the first time in its history, securing a 3-2 victory against Serbia in the final match held in Brussels. Referred to as “the Sultans of the Net,” the team also secured the gold medal in the Nations League earlier this year and is now ranked #1 in the world with their win in Brussels. These victories come as Turkey celebrates its 100th anniversary as a republic. 💡 Why is this a feminist issue: Gender equality and LGBTQ rights are increasingly under attack in Turkey. The team has received fierce criticism by ultraconservatives for their uniforms and two of the team’s players, Ebrar Karakurt and Melissa Vargas, have come under attack from Islamist groups at home due to their sexual orientation. In their victory, “They defeated not only their opponents but also LGBTQ+phobic, misogynist and racist bigots who attacked them during the tournament” 💬 @velvelenet (sourced by @artmuseumart). The team’s victory is a tangible example of the perseverance and tenacity of Turkish women and to some a symbol of female empowerment, in a country where many women feel they have yet to achieve social equality." #equality #feminism #lgbtq https://lnkd.in/d7sqVQA2
