Equality for all
Data collated by UNICEF states that approximately 31 million girls of primary school age and 32 million girls of
secondary school age across the world were out of school in 2013. There are various reasons for this ranging
from lack of money (only the male siblings are sent to school), cultural beliefs ( favour educating the males
rather than females in the family). Girls and women also face other factors which further disrupt their education
such as household obligations and even child marriage. Gender inequalities are still large and persistent in all
countries, the UN states that women worldwide on average earn only 60% of men’s wages. Matters are worse in
places such as South Asia, Sub Saharan Africa, Latin America and the caribbean where
informally employed and working for minimum pay or go unpaid. Women have for years have been
marginalised in education, jobs, opportunities and in the sectors of engineering science and technology.
Although the topics of gender inequality, education and equal pay has been heavily discussed, female innovation
coupled with a country's development are rarely discussed in the same context.
Women are usually the managers of their households which involves family planning, structures systems around
food, water, health and education. The African economic picture for example shows a huge paradox where the
continent has such an extremely rich mineral resource which includes diamonds, gold, copper and more. With
almost half of the population being women there is a huge unacceptable state of the amount of women that are
in the innovation and technology space within the continent. This is why our Blueprint takes a priority to invest
in women through technology and education, which effectively can have a positive impact and would lead to
greater economic development.
Youth Unemployment is also another huge crisis, the International Labour Organization states that almost
around the world are unemployed or working but still living in poverty. These inequalities are very
current and need to be addressed, with our training and equal job opportunities we aim to bring sustainability
instead youth being in an unacceptable object of donorship, debt, loans and aid.
