Spent an eventful morning at the UN for one of the sixty-third session of the Commission on the Status of Women's side events - "Launch of Strategy on Equality in Law for Women and Girls by 2030" There's still so much to be done with eliminating discriminatory laws in this world and enacting ones that promote gender equality, and what Dr. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka said in her closing remarks that resonated with me was that even with laws in place, they can be taken away by custom and tradition. This form of injustice is more pervasive in some societies, but even in the most developed nations, there can still be an underlying current of inequality. Not only should there be a push for laws to be changed, policies to be formed, but there's also a need for change in society, cultural norms, and in the education system, teaching students about discrimination and equality from a young age. #CSW63 #equalityinlaw @unwomen (at United Nations) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvQSLFwHmIc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uhsy0e7c05rw
