Why Rural Equality is More Important Than Ever

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, rural communities are often left behind and with a majority of Norfolk's communities being rural, this is something that impacts our county directly.  Rural equality has never been more important, however it seems as though there is little momentum toward resolving the issues faced by rural communities.

Imagine a gender equal world.

A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

We can all challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias, and seek out inclusive practices. We can do this by sharing the passion and excitement that comes from valuing and supporting difference and taking time to reflect on how we can all be part of the solution, not the problem.
