Around the world, women, in all of their diversity, perform the most underappreciated work, earn less and do more unpaid and care work. This places them in a place of disadvantage within the global economic system. While there has been some progress towards achieving UN Sustainable Development Goal 8 - decent work and economic growth - the economy is still deeply gendered. In order for women, two-spirit, gender-diverse, LGBTQ+ and IBPOC communities to achieve economic justice, there is critical work that needs to be done to break down the systemic barriers holding them back from realizing their full potential.
On November 3, from 1-2:30 pm ET, join the Equal Futures Network for an interactive virtual incubator session to unpack some of the key challenges facing diverse communities when it comes to realizing economic justice.
The session will begin with insights from practitioners, industry leaders and researchers leading the way for change. Participants will then discuss and share their insights on the issues, challenges and obstacles that create barriers towards achieving economic justice, drawing on their efforts and lived experiences. Advancing economic equity will require a substantive shift from the status quo, addressing systemic and structural challenges with women, two-spirit, gender-diverse, LGBTQ+ and IBPOC communities leading the way.
*Please note this session will take place in English with simultaneous interpretation available.
