SUMMARY:International Women's Day
DESCRIPTION:Invest in women: Accelerate progress\nAchieving gender equality and women’s well-being in all aspects of life is more crucial than ever if we want to create prosperous economies and a healthy planet. However\, we are facing a key challenge: the alarming $360 billion annual deficit in gender-equality measures by 2030. \nJoin us on March 8\, 2024\, for International Women’s Day under the theme ‘Invest in women: Accelerate progress”\, and take a stand with us using the hashtag #InvestInWomen. \nHere are five key areas needing joint action: \n\nInvesting in women\, a human rights issue: Time is running out. Gender equality is the greatest human rights challenge\, benefiting everyone.\nEnding poverty: Due to the COVID pandemic and conflicts\, 75 million more people have fallen into severe poverty since 2020. Immediate action is crucial to prevent over 342 million women and girls living in poverty by 2030.\nImplementing gender-responsive financing: Conflicts and rising prices may lead 75% of countries to cut public spending by 2025\, negatively impacting women and their essential services.\nShifting to a green economy and care society: The current economic system disproportionately affects women. Advocates propose a shift to a green economy and care society to amplify women’s voices.\nSupporting feminist change-makers: Despite leading efforts\, feminist organizations receive only 0.13% of official development assistance.\n\nThis International Women’s Day\, let’s unite to transform challenges into opportunities and shape a better future for all! \n\n\n\n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nIn 1984\, Australia introduced the world’s first Women’s Budget Statement\, paving the way for many others to follow suit.\nThere is an alarming lack of financing with a staggering USD 360 billion annual deficit in spending on gender-equality measures.\nJust 5% of government aid is focused on tackling violence against women and girls\, and less than 0.2% is directed to its prevention.\n\n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance. Our desk monitors daily developments from the SEC\, IFRS\, CSRD and international regulatory bodies to ensure our 1M+ readers receive accurate\, data-driven insights into the evolving sustainable investment landscape.
