ASTA truly belief in gender EQUALITY and EQUITY and committed to work on WOMEN economic empowerment.
Gender equity is necessary to achieve gender equality. Simply put, gender equity acknowledges that there is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ path to equality because a shared ‘starting point’ does not exist. Therefore, the diverse needs of men, women and non-binary people call for different responses to achieve gender equality.
According to UN Women, achieving full gender equality is still centuries away. Indeed, according to the progress of SDG5’s targets and indicators, the world is not even remotely on track to achieve gender equality by 2030.
A lot has been done over the past decades to reduce the global gender gap and improve opportunities for women, girls. Yet significant gender gaps remain across sectors in all countries across the world. It shows how much room for progress there is, especially in the work of development and humanitarian organizations. We are not giving up, because there can be no social, climate or economic justice without gender justice.
