This International Women’s Day marks the beginning of our #WhatIfIToldYou campaign, which will be all about opening eyes to the real challenges women and girls face in Southeast Asia. Through powerful facts and questions lifted from “The State of Gender Inclusion in Asia-Pacific’s Regulatory Landscape,” a report co-sponsored by Mangosteen and published by Economist Impact, we’re aiming to spark conversations and push for change.

Let’s use this International Women’s Day as a launchpad for taking meaningful action and raising awareness. Follow us on Instagram @mangosteenjoy for impactful messages you can easily share. Through a collective effort, we can turn WhatIfIToldYou into NowYouKnow.
