Fighting Stereotypes…

There are two stereotypes that we would like to fight:

1- “Women cannot work well together… Women cannot look out for each other… Women cannot empower one another… ”

We would like to prove to the world that:

Women CAN work well together…
Women CAN look out for each other… 
Women CAN empower one another… 

We are counting on you to help us prove that.

Join Our Cause!

2- “Empowering women is aimed at defying men… it is against men… it is to have power over men… it is to take away from men’s rights!”

And we say: NO, empowering women is not in any way aimed at defying men, or against men, or to have power over men, or to take away from men’s rights…

Empowering women is just aimed at giving women their very basic rights: Human rights! Equal Rights! Equal Protection! Equal support! Equal justice! Equal pay!

MEN are NOT our ENEMIES! Men are our fathers, husbands, or sons… how can they be our enemies?

MEN are the ones who will help us get our rights… which father really wants to deprive his daughter from her human rights? From her equal rights?

“We all fight over what the label ‘feminism’ means, but for me it’s about empowerment. It’s not about being more powerful than men – it’s about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It’s about very basic things. It’s not a badge like a fashion item.” –Annie Lennox, singer & political activist
