Sexism is global. The fight against it should be too.
Sir Elton John and Jessie J are among more than 70 celebrities who have urged world leaders to tackle poverty by addressing gender inequality.
The pop stars joined U2 singer Bono, boxer Muhammad Ali and actress Charlize Theron in adding their voices to the call by the ONE Campaign ahead of International Women’s Day.
In an open letter to government, the campaigners said “poverty is sexist” and some 155 countries have laws which discriminate against women.
Read the letter here. You can also be part of it by signing it!!
Join ONE and 29,518 others who have come together to send a powerful message: we won’t end extreme poverty without ending global gender inequality.
