Gender-Washing: An uncomfortable truth in the fight for women’s equality!

As we navigate the slow and arduous journey toward gender equality, the horizon seems perpetually distant (ugh!). The World Economic Forum's projections are sobering, suggesting that true economic empowerment for women might elude us for another century (yuck!), especially considering the setbacks introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic. This crisis has exacerbated gender disparities, with women disproportionately suffering from job losses and being compelled to revert to traditional domestic roles, such as caregiving and overseeing household responsibilities. This trend is alarmingly pronounced in the tourism and hospitality sector, one of the industries most severely crippled by the pandemic.

Regenerative Travel Matters! Here’s how we are supporting it!

Regenerative travel is a new and exciting concept that is gaining popularity in the travel industry. It is a holistic approach to travel that goes beyond sustainable tourism and aims to actively restore and rejuvenate the destinations we visit. This approach is based on the idea that travel can be used as a tool for positive change, and that by working together, we can create a better future for the places we love. This concept was the foundation for why we started Sororal, with our focus being on equality for women and girls, and using travel as the catalyst to help us make that change.
