Pledge for Parity
Why are the beautiful hiding in the background behind the glowing yellow one in front? Because I chose to photograph them that way. But millions of women don't have the choice of what to do with their lives.
The World Economic Forum predicted in 2014 that it would take until 2095 to achieve global gender parity. Then one year later in 2015, they estimated that a slowdown in the already glacial pace of progress meant the gender gap wouldn't close entirely until 2133. Each of us can help women and girls develop and achieve their ambitions as part of the goal of reaching parity between men and women.
Happy International Women's Day! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
