Helping Hand for Relief and Development Breaks the Bias This International Women's Day
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD) marks International Women's Day by challenging individuals to "Break the Bias" through a social media campaign. HHRD employees have taken the lead and submitted photos of themselves doing the Break the Bias pose in solidarity with those standing up for injustice.
International Women's Day is an important and exciting opportunity to recognize and celebrate women's accomplishments while also amplifying a call to help build a more inclusive world - where people of all backgrounds, perspectives, and talents are sought, valued, and embraced.
HHRD aspires to close the gender gap for the world's underprivileged women. Globally, there are still significant pay gaps between men and women for the same work, with just 37 women in leadership posts for every 100 males. HHRD's Skills Development and Livelihood program actively empowers women by providing them with the tools they need to succeed in the workplace. Self-sufficiency is inextricably tied to a stable income. Our mission is to provide underprivileged women with equal access to business opportunities.
"We seek to empower women economically by offering income-generating activities and a safe and secure environment for women to acquire technical and vocational skills in the same way that men do. Educate a woman, empower a nation!" shares Khaled Alaqqad, the Skills Development and Livelihood program country lead for Jordan.
In 2021, HHRD's Skills Development & Livelihood program benefited nearly 5,412 people in 10 countries. The program provides instruction on how to organize artisans, improve their skills, and develop and market their products.
