#iCare about gender equality around the world

Sadia is an extraordinary young woman defying female stereotypes in Bangladesh. The struggle to find work is all too real for young people with big dreams. Young women like Sadia find it even harder.

  • Bangladesh has one of the highest child marriage rates in the world
  • Two-thirds of women and girls are married before the age of 18
  • 9 in 10 married women have reported that they have been abused by their husbands

The sad reality is that many women in Bangladesh are completely financially dependent on their husbands, excluded from making decisions in the home and denied access to work.

But not Sadia. Sadia is 26 and is not married.

By signing this petition, you are saying #iCare about gender inequality around the world and support the work of Y Care International.

"I want to be self-supported. I don't need a husband, I can make my own money!" Sadia
