UN Women launches campaign in India

-PTI

UN Women here on Saturday launched a campaign, aiming at ensuring greater participation of men in promoting women's rights and gender equality.

"We need boys and men to work with us. ‘HeForShe' is a global solidarity movement to end gender inequality by 2030. It was launched by Union Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi

The goal is to engage men and boys as advocates and agents of change in the effort to achieve equality. When women are empowered, the whole of humanity benefits," U.N. Women Representative, Rebecca Tavares, said.

Emphasising the need for sensitising the youth on issues related to gender equality, Ms. Gandhi said: "The WCD ministry has started many initiatives over the last four months to empower women including: the one-stop crisis centres for women, the national mission on malnutrition, and the ‘beti bachayo beti padhayo' campaign."

U.N. Women is partnering with MenEngage, an acclaimed international forum that mobilises men and boys from around the world, to advocate for gender equality.
