As an initiative for International Women's day (March 8), we thought of compiling brief statements on gender futures as each one of us visualizes and envisions these.

1. GENDER FUTURES
Visions of People who Believe in a Better Future
An initiative by:

10. I imagine a future…
where every little girl and every grown woman
knows that being able to exercise her choice
is as natural as being able to breathe.
and Human Factors International
I imagine a future…
where every little girl and every grown woman
does not have to wonder if she can,
but does because she wants to.
And I imagine a future…
where every little girl and every grown woman
can just be. As she wants to be.
I am rasika,
technical writer at Human Factors International

12. I imagine a future for women wherein
she can fly free like a bird,
strong and graceful,
unhindered by earth’s
limited vision

resources at HFI Pondicherry

move about freely—to walk alone
in the woods and draw the beauty
of nature…without fear for our
safety.

her dream of
education, respect
and opportunities.”

where girls and women
are valued for who they
are inside, not outside.

independence from
control by others.”

we say YES to girls’
dreams!

My family gave me the gift of thinking
“I can do anything” long before
I entered a world that tried to say
“No, you can’t”.
Guess who I chose to believe?

occupied with REAL
equality….”
