One Young World 2022 Lead2030 SDG10 Challenge for greater inclusion for women

SDG10 calls for reducing inequalities in income as well as those based on age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status within a country.

COVID-19 has deepened existing inequalities, hitting the poorest and most vulnerable communities the hardest. It has put a spotlight on economic inequalities and fragile social safety nets that leave vulnerable communities to bear the brunt of the crisis. At the same time, social, political, and economic inequalities have amplified the impacts of the pandemic. COVID-19 also puts at risk the limited progress that has been made on gender equality and women’s rights over the past decades. Across every sphere, from health to the economy, security to social protection, the impacts of COVID-19 are exacerbated for women and girls simply by virtue of their sex.

The challenge welcomes solutions from young innovators that either:

• Create equal access to opportunities for women for all social and economic backgrounds.
• Create an inclusive culture and environment for disabled women and women who are older.
• Engage employees in global volunteering initiatives to promote and support women in their local communities.
• Creating solutions for women who are impacted by alcohol-related issues personally and within their communities.

Possible solutions may include but are not limited to:

• Partnering with for-profit and/or non-governmental organizations to develop a partnership in supporting women.
• Supporting women by creating access to healthcare, justice, education, safety and raising awareness of discrimination and bias that women face.
• Increasing inclusion and representation of women in politics, sport, the arts and culture.
• Solutions that enable organisation’s to support reducing inequalities for women within their local communities.
