Empower Her, Transform Tomorrow

We all have a role to play in creating a more just and equitable society. But research shows that empowering women and girls holds unique potential to catalyze progress.

Estimates suggest that achieving gender equality could add $12 trillion to global GDP by 2025. The World Bank highlights that investments in women spur lasting benefits – reducing poverty and inequality while driving development. For example, women’s education is linked to lower child malnutrition and mortality.

Yet obstacles remain at alarming levels globally.

Over 2.5 billion women are legally restricted from having the same choice of jobs as men. At least 1 in 3 women worldwide experience gender-based violence in their lifetime. The average gender pay gap hovers around 20% across 40 countries studied by the OECD.

Empower Her and Watch Societies Flourish: The Data-Backed Case

The evidence is clear – advancing women’s empowerment accelerates social progress and unlocks vast economic potential. But this requires dismantling barriers across public and private spheres:

• Increasing women’s leadership representation to over 30% – associated with better firm performance.

• Closing gender gaps in managerial positions could add $5.8 trillion to the global economy by 2025.
• If women had equal access to resources like fertilizer and seeds, farm yields could rise 20% to 30%.
• Gender diverse companies have shown 15% higher profitability on average.

Empowering women and girls through education, economic opportunities, health care access, political participation, and leadership capacity transforms communities for the better. Purposeful investment directed at women not only uplifts individuals, but compounds to benefit societies and economies overall.

Shaping a Brighter Future:

True change requires re-imagining systems holistically. The collective future we shape by empowering her – at home, in schools, through policies, within firms – will either propel or hinder progress for generations to come. The research provides hope: women’s empowerment sparks a better world for all.
