Gender equality works to advance equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression through the inclusion of people of all genders; today we're focusing on women and their rights.
Quote: “If you have high levels of illiteracy, women cannot even read about their rights.” Tacko Ndiaye
The Women’s Equality Movement started almost 200 years now. Every decade has had more and more women speaking up and speaking out in an attempt to create a more equitable world for women and girls around the globe. Women’s rights are human rights! These include the right to live free from violence and discrimination; to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn an equal wage. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re privileged to have Tacko Ndiaye join us to talk about her book Women and share her experience of more than 25 years fighting for women everywhere.
Tacko is a Gender Team Leader at Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and is based at FAO Headquarters in Rome. She has extensive experience working with governments, national women's groups, bilateral and multilateral organizations, women's networks, civil society, and parliamentarians to advance gender mainstreaming and women's rights in policies, programmes, budgets, institutions, and statistics. Her book, WOMEN, is a powerful visual representation of the journey that women travel. It combines aesthetic beauty, symbols, and visual metaphors to trigger emotions and responses to enduring gender inequalities in all areas of life. WOMEN enriches Tacko’s way of working to initiate action, based on her 25 years of empowering women and girls worldwide. It is her simple, or not-so-simple, way to try something new in being a voice for change.
