Inspiring Wo(men): Celebrating International Women's Day 2022

Be Inspired to contribute towards World Peace & Sustainable Growth

Advancing gender equality at all contexts and levels is one of the greatest global challenges of the 21st century.

According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2021 produced by the World Economic Forum, “on its current trajectory, it will now take 135.6 years to close the gender gap worldwide”.

In other words, according to current projections and performance, women and femininities living, walking, breathing or being born at this very moment all around the globe, will never live in a truly equal world. Frankly, this is not good enough. Actually, it is too late.

​

Aiming to deviate from this trajectory, The Dais in partnership with Katoikos.world is organizing a series of events to give prominence to wo(men ) that are inspiring in their own way. We want to explore their stories, hear about their past, and listen for clues into potential childhood inspirations they had growing up. We want to learn from their success and leadership, as they define it. Because their own way, their own success is what’s paving the path towards empowerment, towards breaking the barriers until equality prevails.

This initiative falls under SDG 5 “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”, but we aim to unpack more SDGs and find angles that can inspire us into action. Our overarching objective is to facilitate capacity building for greater participation, decision-making, power and action for all.
