**GonetAfrica CEO Proffers Practical Steps for Achieving Gender Equality**
Monrovia, Liberia – Mohammed Kerkulah, the Chief Executive Officer of Gonet Africa, has outlined concrete strategies for advancing gender equality, emphasizing the need for a multi-pronged approach that begins with individual responsibility. Speaking at the African Women Leaders Network (AWLN) Liberia Chapter Dialogue on Positive Masculinity, Kerkulah urged attendees to move beyond rhetoric and embrace tangible actions to dismantle gender disparities.
Kerkulah stressed that achieving true gender equality hinges on a personal commitment from every individual. He encouraged men, in particular, to actively challenge their own biases and assumptions about gender roles. This self-reflection, he argued, is the crucial first step in fostering a more equitable society. He emphasized the importance of men becoming allies and advocates for women's empowerment in all spheres of life.
Beyond personal commitment, Kerkulah highlighted the necessity of implementing comprehensive awareness programs. He suggested that these programs should target all segments of society, from schools and workplaces to community gatherings. The goal is to educate people about the importance of gender equality, dispel harmful stereotypes, and promote respectful relationships between men and women. He underscored the need for these programs to be culturally sensitive and tailored to the specific needs of different communities.
Furthermore, the GonetAfrica CEO emphasized the critical role of effective policies in driving systemic change. He advocated for the enactment and enforcement of laws that protect women's rights, promote equal opportunities, and address gender-based violence. He specifically mentioned the importance of policies that ensure equal pay for equal work, access to education and healthcare, and representation in leadership positions. Kerkulah argued that these policies should be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure they remain effective in addressing evolving challenges.
The AWLN Liberia Chapter Dialogue on Positive Masculinity brought together leaders from various sectors to discuss strategies for engaging men in the pursuit of gender equality. Kerkulah's contribution provided a framework for action, emphasizing that a combination of individual responsibility, targeted awareness campaigns, and robust policies is essential to create a truly equitable society for all. His call to action resonated with the audience, sparking a renewed commitment to advancing gender equality in Liberia and beyond.
