Equal Rights for Women and Girls

Home

About This Collection

Equal Rights for Women is a major category, like energy or climate change, of sustainability and the voices in this collection are of the present and the past.

If we don't address human rights and social justice of which the sustainability keywords and phrases include children's rights and welfare; human trafficking, slavery, and women's rights and roles, then as David Korten points out, we will not be able to come to terms with the limits of the planet and not even technology will be able to save us.

The surprising thing I learned sailing solo around the world | Dame Ellen MacArthur

Solo sailor Ellen MacArthur's circumnavigation of the globe provided profound insights into the world's finite resources and interconnected cycles. Her journey highlighted how today's decisions directly impact future availability.

Based on this understanding, MacArthur proposes a bold new vision for economic systems. She advocates for a circular economy, moving away from linear models, where resources are continuously reused and regenerated, ensuring sustainability for generations to come.
