THE FOUNDER

SARA CARLEMÅR  | Founder & General Secretary

Communications Strategist, Entrepreneur since 2005 and Social Entrepreneur since 2019 when I founded GLOW4equality. Throughout my career I’ve worked close to coaching as a tool and seen great results on the development of individuals as well as in creating sustainable change in organizations. I’ve seen the power of uniting around a shared goal. Outside of work I’ve always had a deep engagement in women’s and children’s rights, engaging in people, through voluntary commitments and managing different charity projects throughout the years.  

A trip to Iran in 2017 affected me deeply and became "My moment of change".  The experience left me with a feeling of frustration and after some time of reflection and a coaching process, the pieces of the puzzle fell into place; I wanted to use my skills, abilities, network, and passion to contribute to gender equality through coaching.

FACTS

ABOUT UN Sustainable Development Goal #5 GENDER EQUALITY

THE UN EXPLAINS

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Unfortunately, at the current time, 1 in 5 women and girls between the ages of 15-49 have reported experiencing physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner within a 12-month period and 49 countries currently have no laws protecting women from domestic violence. Progress is occurring regarding harmful practices such as child marriage and FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), which has declined by 30% in the past decade, but there is still much work to be done to completely eliminate such practices.

Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. Implementing new legal frameworks regarding female equality in the workplace and the eradication of harmful practices targeted at women is crucial to ending the gender-based discrimination prevalent in many countries around the world.
