Volume 2 Edition Q#12 The Wrap — Lead Editors @Rick Botelho and Paula Papel
These are a series of stories and headlines we are tracking in the
Grey Swan Guild’s Global League of Sensemakers Newsroom. Here is The Great, the Good, the Bad, the Ugly and the Grey of what we observed the week that was. The focus in this new monthly series is Equity and the questions we need to answer about attaining it everywhere. In a 10 Billion person earth, is there really any other way to really live fairly? It is not something that emerges, it is something that is built. Let’s build it toghether.

EQUITYemerging March 2022 Edition — EQUITYemerging themed recurring series edited by #EquityMuse & INTERcultures 🌏 MEDIA in collaboration with insightful & intersectional members of the virtual think tank Grey Swan Guild
EQUITY BELONGS TO ALL :
The premise of this EQUITYemerging article series is to highlight the ways in which our Earth societies have changed in their thinking and in their actions regarding the egalitarian concept of Equity as every human’s birthright.
EQUITY encompasses the notions of equality and justice (solutions) applicable to all no matter what gender, culture, ethnicity, language, class, religious affiliation or other association each person may designate for themselves as part of their unique intersectional identity.
Gender EQUITYemerging
… Our humanity depends on it to survive uncertainty.
As many around the world raise awareness, call for greater activism to promote Gender Equality, and celebrate all aspects of International Women’s Day, Gender Week and Women’s History Month — during this month of March, we are reminded that in 2022, there are still people of many gender identities in varying global situations of gender inequity, where the paths to equal and just access to life-fulfilling opportunities, individual freedoms, and even legally declared universal human rights are still not being observed nor enforced, let alone celebrated.
