Gender Equity is a photographic exhibition and an ongoing project.

What is Gender Equity?
Gender Equity is about women and men being treated fairly according to their needs and compensating for the social disadvantages that women have historically endured. Gender Equity is possible when we act together to advance, cooperate, transform our individual and collective behaviours.

What is Gender Equality?
[voice over+pics] Gender equality means that the behaviours, aspirations and needs of both women and men are equally valued, favoured and taken into consideration. Equity is a means. Equality is the result.

Women Empowerment
After identifying and redressing the prevailing power imbalances, Women's Empowerment seeks to give women access to resources traditionally in men's favour and enables women and men to cooperate as equal partners.

This project is an invitation to act together in Equal Harmony. We believe in an inclusive society and in the possibility to achieve Human Unity.

Mother's words on "The Problem of Woman"
“In their best moments, both man and woman can forget their difference of sex, but it reappears at the slightest provocation; ... the quarrel is revived indefinitely in one form or another, open or veiled, and perhaps all the more bitter the less it is admitted. And one wonders whether it will not be so until there are no longer any men or women, but living souls expressing their identical origin in sexless bodies. For one dreams of a world in which all these oppositions will at last disappear and where a being will be able to live and prosper who will be the harmonious synthesis of all that is best in the human race, uniting conception and execution, vision and creation in one single consciousness and action."
The Mother (Mirra Alfassa)
