3 Organizations Shaping A Gender Equal Society, Today

Updated: Nov 11, 2021

On the 9th of August 1956, approximately 20 000 South African women of all races marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to appeal against a set of pass laws that effectively rendered all the people of South Africa in an unfavorable position. While the march may have been about more than women’s rights in particular, it certainly did draw significant attention to issues faced by all women. Today, women do not have to face challenges in isolation and they do not have to stage marches to express their views. While this is partly due to local laws that enable female emancipation and a gender equal society – organizations borne of driven women are the true lifeline behind total female inclusion in all spheres of business, technology and science. The operations conducted by these groups are forming a gender-equal future society where all women and men of all colors enjoy equal rights and opportunities.

Below are 3 of many organizations your brand can consider partnering with to build a gender equal society:
