I’m brought up in an environment with many strong and intelligent women and I’m coming from a country that is considered to be gender equal. Although, neither my grand-mother nor my mother got the same opportunities as my grand-father or my father. As a gender champion I’ll do my outmost to make sure that women of today and tomorrow gets their equal rights. Refraining women from access to education, work and opportunities is just not acceptable. Research has proven gender equality being smart economics and a sustainable way to build our societies. We should all let this knowledge guide our daily endeavors and future commitments.
