Wahoo! We made it through 2023!! The year wouldn't be complete without a Broads recap, though. Sara brings you a snapshot of some of the most incredible Broads we lost this year and all of their accomplishments, both for women specifically and all of humankind.
Then we take a dive into the United Nations’ Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The gender snapshot 2023. A little intimidating for some, but absolutely CRUCIAL for really comprehending the true level of gender inequality and what it means for the future of women in the world - as well as what we can do about it!
