Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all. #BreakTheBias
Celebrate women’s achievements. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality.
Today we would like to celebrate some of the amazing women we have that are part of our Youth Fed team.
Hear from Mandy Kiddle, Trustee for Youth Fed on her thoughts this International Women’s Day:
What have you/Youth fed done to be more inclusive and drive change?
Youth Fed adapted to the needs of young people during the pandemic with online delivery of projects including all diversity groups. Youth Fed led on mental health support with an in house resource dedicated to supporting young people. Youth Fed is now working on creating & delivering programmes requested and needed by young people. Youth Fed’s continued work with partner organisations to the benefit of both young people and other organisations helps to drive change.
What would an international future that is diverse, equitable and inclusive mean to you?
People would look beyond gender and provide ‘levelling up’ across all gender groups to bring equity within jobs irrespective of location etc, support with mental health (learning to live with it with coping strategies etc), and opportunities genuinely open to all. No limits or barriers just support to enable young people to realise their potential.
Which woman do you think lives these values and inspires you?
Michelle Obama.
