It is time to re-examine the policies, our long-held cultural norms, and to reconsider the role of a woman in society.

Did you know that it took more than 140 years after America’s independence to allow women to vote via the 19th amendment of the US constitution? To this day, women’s’ rights in the US constitution are not explicitly guaranteed.

It has been documented that women’s access to employment, business opportunities, financial resources, and economic empowerment is linked to improvements in reproductive health. An increase in the use of contraceptives and access to high quality sexual and reproductive health services, longer birth intervals, and planned pregnancies allows higher labor force participation by women, which improves the economic status of families and creates a robust workforce driving the economy

Ahunna Eziakonwa of the “United Nations Development Program” revealed that since 2010, Sub-Saharan African economies lose $95billion a year because of the gender gap

S&P Global mentioned that, if U.S. companies hired and promoted women at the same rate as countries like Norway, the economy can grow by 8%. S&P Global’s analysis also shows that German’s GDP would be 11% bigger while those of France and Japan would be 16% and 14% bigger respectively.
