There is a horrible societal acceptance of child marriage experienced by young girls in the Philippines.

As we celebrate the , may we always remember that Child Marriage is not a political problem. This is a human problem. It is past time for our political leaders to cease ignoring the subject and evading accountability. It is past time for us to address the issue directly.

You have to be a smaller size. You have to burn more fat. You have to tighten your butt, firm your abs, fit into those skinny jeans, and do it all in 3 weeks!

If you’re tired of hearing all of this, and hearing it over and over again, maybe you need to stand your ground, rebel, and go against the tide. You are so much more than just a size or a number, but living in a culture that’s beauty- and body- image-obsessed isn’t easy.

Have the courage to move past societal expectations of the physical, and learn to love yourself exactly as you are.

Always remember. You are beautiful.

For Mhaie Marhaffy Maulana, RN, capability, ability, and the right attitude do not favour gender. When we embrace the feminine and masculine qualities in each of us, we not only expand our ability to lead with greater strength than ever, but we also forge a path for others to do the same.

More and more women in leadership positions are pushing the boundaries of gender equality by utilizing their strengths and leadership qualities – in skill, knowledge, experience and emotion. They are pursuing the things they want from their job and their career, not waiting for it to come to them.

For Susan Villano, it is not a matter of the different strengths that men and women bring to their careers, but instead how we accept the meshing of those strengths to drive organizations forward in meeting their goals and setting new ones while achieving individual success.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🏳️‍🌈 🌈

Throughout history, periods of upheaval moments have often given birth to genuine progress and change. Pride Month commemorates one such time, where riots and protests created awareness of deep-seated problems and energized people to take action to create substantial change.

This feels like the perfect opportunity to revisit the history behind Pride Month and use some lessons from it to move forward today.

We encounter sexist behaviour so regularly that we barely notice it anymore. It pervades society in many more subtle ways – and its impacts are not always so tangible. This discrimination is committed not just in the workplace and on the streets, but in social settings and our own homes, sometimes by the people who love us.

In this video, we have gathered 23 women and asked them the small and seemingly harmless instances of everyday sexism they face. After watching this video, we encourage an open and respectful conversation about everyday sexism, intending to create fairer, more positive and inclusive organisational environments for all.
