When women are treated equally, they can reach their full potential, driving economic growth and uplifting communities. Yet today, one in three women and girls suffer physical or sexual violence, undermining their health and societies as a whole. Equality is not a privilege; it’s a human right. And it’s time we made it real. Listen to the #SDGAwards alumni Paola Andrade, ecuadordicenomas, and her story of hope in action. Visit the Parallel Realities Pavilion at the #TriennaleMilano #24thInternationalExhibition and be part of a global conversation on art, inequality, and the futures we dare to create: https://lnkd.in/dMP3hsnQ #Inequalities #ActNow

The power to make decisions that impact the world we live in,” said 2024 #SDGAwards alumni Martina Fuga, President of CoorDown, at the #TriennaleMilano #24thInternationalExhibition. In the Parallel Realities Pavilion art transitions to hope that drives action, and action unlocks possibility, showing that the world we envision is within reach.
