Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.
Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”READ MORE ABOUT DALLAS HEROES WORKING TOWARDS THIS GOAL” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][grop_blog blog_style=”blog-grid” blog_column=”grop-blog-col-3″ blog_category=”true” blog_date=”true” blog_comments=”true” blog_order=”DESC” blog_orderby=”date” blog_show_category=”goal-05″ blog_pagination=”true”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
