How it's getting done.
We need to address the global status of diverse populations.
The socially underprivileged, economically underserved, and politically underrepresented and the inequalities they face.
Education
About 244 million children globally are out of school, often due to socioeconomic barriers, conflict, or displacement. In low-income countries, nearly 90% of children are unable to read by age 10.
Healthcare Access
Socially marginalized groups, including ethnic minorities and rural populations, often have limited access to healthcare. WHO reports that up to 50% of people in some countries have no access to essential health services.
Poverty Rates
Nearly 10% of the world's population lives on less than $2.15 per day, with many of these individuals located in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Poverty disproportionately affects children and rural communities.
Income Inequality
The wealth gap is widening in both developed and developing countries. In the U.S., the top 1% of earners hold over 30% of the country’s wealth, while in other nations like Brazil and South Africa, the top 10% hold more than 55%.
Freedom of Expression
According to Freedom House, approximately 40% of the world’s population live in countries rated “Not Free,” limiting their ability to participate in or influence political processes.
Political Participation
Women, minorities, and economically disadvantaged individuals are significantly underrepresented in political offices worldwide. For instance, women hold only about 26% of parliamentary seats globally.
We envision a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Guided by principles of equity, integrity, and compassion, we envision a more just and inclusive society.
The vision is achievable, no matter how hard or how far.
To measure progress toward a vision of a more just and inclusive society guided by equity, integrity, and compassion, here are six key metrics with quantifiable indicators, that we track and work towards, with yearly action, action areas and targets.
