There are less people in poverty now than ever before in history, however the gap in between those at the top and those at the bottom continues to grow. We are all citizens of the globe, so what should we be aiming for, to ensure equity between us all?

We’re pushing for gender equality, but will it ever be achieved if we don’t remove the damaging labels and restrictions the gender binary holds in place? Where do transgender, agender and gender fluid individuals fit in?
