Despite progress over the past few decades, women still face significant, structural barriers to success. "An equal world is an enabled world" — and every one of us can do our bit to bring about gender equality. That’s the core message of #EachForEqual, the campaign at the centre of this year’s International Women’s Day. It seeks to draw attention to the idea that gender inequality isn’t a women’s issue, but an economic one — as gender equality is essential for economies and communities to thrive. Business boardrooms, government departments and media coverage are just some of the key areas of focus highlighted by the campaign. And by celebrating women’s achievement, raising awareness of bias and calling out inequality, the campaign says, we can all help to bring about change. For the International Women’s Day 2020 tomorrow, this Weekend Star Supplement has selected six inspiring female leaders from Mysuru in the field of Politics, Police, Transport, Education and Business — path-breaking women who are drivingchange.
