Rise Up Founder Denise Raquel Dunning, PhD and Cummins Inc. Chair & CEO Jennifer Rumsey report in IndustryWeek about the importance of investing in girls' leadership to advance gender equality. Despite progress, global barriers persist, with less than 2% of philanthropic funding going to women and girls, and only 0.5% reaching women and girls of color. Through initiatives like Cummins Powers Women and partnerships with organizations like Rise Up, efforts are underway to support young leaders like Melody Juárez Buch, who championed the end of child marriage in Guatemala. Investing in education, health, and leadership for girls worldwide is key to a more equitable future.

" Challenging gender bias within institutions is integral to adopting and implementing gender-responsive budgets and entails understanding how budget decisions are made, who makes them and whether women are meaningfully engaged in budget decision-making. Collaboration with women’s and workers’ organizations and collectives is key to understanding the budget cycle and identifying points of influence at the national and local levels.”- point 59 from E/CN.6/2024/3 , the Report of the Secretary-General on Accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing with a gender perspective. from the Sec General’s report E/CN.6/2024/3 Attending #CSW68 as a delegate for UN Women UK  provided me with valuable insights into the impactful work carried out by this self-funded charity led by Tabitha Morton .

A provactive talk last hosted by the The Walrus on the Shifting Power in Philanthropy. A few takeaways: 1) Women’s assets are projected to nearly double to $4 trillion by 2028. 2) Only 2% of philanthropy focuses on gender equality, and just 4% of VC funding goes to women-founded companies. [Still find this to be a sobering stat in 2024] 3) Investing in women leads to benefits for families and communities, as they give differently, often prioritizing crisis response and justice. It will be interesting to be on the forefront of a changing giving landscape in Canada.

There is no gender justice without climate justice! 🌍    Women and girls are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis but are leading vital solutions. Yet, only 1.5% of climate funding prioritizes gender equality, and just 0.2% reaches women’s organizations.    When you donate to Global Fund for Women, you support feminist leaders on the frontlines –– including those doing transformative work for people and the planet.

At Turkish Philanthropy Funds, we believe in long-term, sustainable change - especially when it comes to gender equality. The challenges are immense. Turkey ranks 124th out of 136 in the world for gender inequality. Female employment remains under 36%, and still 15% of girls are married before they turn 18. While more girls are attending school, only 40% of girls go to college. TPF is committed to changing these statistics through education, and economic empowerment. In 2024 alone, TPF empowered, trained, educated thousands of girls and women - all thanks to the generosity of our donors. Your gift to TPF’s Gender Equality Fund and our partners’ projects focused on women empowerment has the power to change these statistics through education, and economic empowerment. By donating, you are reshaping the norms and expectations around gender for everyone. Make 2024 a year of kindness, champion for Gender Equality to lift up women and girls across Turkiye.  https://lnkd.in/eUyBYbzV
