ACCELERATE
Why ACTION?
Gender inequality is not just a moral or ethical
issue—it is a global crisis that holds us all back.
According to research by McKinsey, closing the
gender gap in labour markets alone could add $12
trillion to the worldwide economy. Yet, women
remain underrepresented in leadership,
overrepresented in low-paying jobs, and
disproportionately burdened by unpaid care
work.
Beyond the workplace, systemic challenges like
gender-based violence, restricted access to
education, and lack of healthcare
disproportionately affect women and girls. These
issues do not exist in isolation; they are deeply
intertwined, compounding inequality and slowing
progress.
By focusing on accelerating action, we embrace
the urgency required to dismantle these systems
of oppression. Every day we wait is a missed
opportunity for justice, innovation, and growth.
