President Josipović explains: "A just society does not turn away from people who need assistance and support. We were among the first countries in Europe that reached significant strategies on this matter, but the question we need to ask ourselves is whether we can do even more."

Today's rapidly changing world faces multiple and overlapping challenges, from conflict to climate change to the lasting economic and social impacts of the Covid pandemic. Such challenges not only threaten livelihoods and curtail equal access to economic opportunity for many, but they also put at risk the gains made in the empowerment of women and girls over the past decades.
In order to tackle these challenges, we need to harness innovation, ingenuity and initiative from all parts of society – including the young and old, women, those in remote regions and urban centres, and all others who may face barriers to fully realising their potential. It is this combined human capital and talent that helps create effective approaches and solutions to overcome current crises. We can already see examples, such as young entrepreneurs inventing green solutions to tackle climate change, female scientists who developed one of the first COVID vaccines, and policymakers who deploy digitalization technologies for more inclusive infrastructure and urban spaces.
This event brought together inspirational speakers from a diversity of backgrounds to discuss responses to global challenges. They explored the role of policymakers and the private sector, highlighted case studies and discuss innovative policy approaches to promote equality, which is needed now more than ever.

i don't know if this was meant to be a global campaign. it definitely is in the mainland us, but i think it was timed to launch in the philippines to coincide with the national elections.
A rally and press conference was held on Tuesday afternoon April 10th at the Daley Center in downtown Chicago to call attention to the fact that the state of Illinois is one of fourteen states yet to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
The Equal Rights Amendment states that: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex". The E.R.A, would provide legal protection for women in various ways including gender-based violence, equal pay, and pregnancy discrimination.
70% of America's poor are women. This also affects the children who depend on them.
Women make up roughly half the workforce and constitute two-thirds of minimum wage workers.
Women earn 79 and 44% of what men make adjusted for their race. The latter figure applies more to blacks and Hispanics.
Women are twice as likely to retire in poverty as men.
Passing the E.R.A. would ensure that employers could not give women less pay for doing the same work as a man.
