Women represent half of the world’s potential. As a group, women have been marginalized. Their potential contributions to economic growth, social progress and environmental protection have been discredited. Gender inequality exists all over the world, however, its effects are especially notable in island communities.
Gender equality has even been shown to stimulate economic growth, a factor that is vital for countries with fewer economic opportunities, including Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Island communities now more than ever need to be proactive in bridging gender inequality in their communities and utilize the framework provided by the SDGs. Fortunately, many island countries such as the Philippines, the Marshall Islands and the Solomon Islands are driving change in gender equality.
Through our services, Island Innovation can help you in managing three of the core challenges commonly faced by organizations that support women and sustainable development: lack of funds, shortage of strategic planning and absence of valuable networking opportunities.
