#choosetochallenge

In honour of International Women’s Day today, I asked the team what they will choose to challenge to create a gender equal world.

‘I #choosetochallenge the notion that women must be competitive with one another in order to succeed. Let’s embrace the theory of abundance in 2021.’ - Sarvie

‘I #choosetochallenge the lack of space for female voices, let’s work for them to be heard.’ - Jack

‘I #choosetochallenge blind herd behaviourism and following of those who shout loudest! Let’s bring real and lasting change about based on facts.’ - Candida

‘I #choosetochallenge the undermining of education of girls through period poverty or a disproportionate share of housework.’ - Nicolette

‘I #choosetochallenge the notion that passive support is enough to enact change. The active promotion of equality is essential to reach a world where gender parity truly exists.’ - George

‘I #choosetochallenge preconceived notions about the destiny of humanity that doesn’t integrate the lost knowledge of matriarchies or suppressed wisdom of womenkind.’ - Victoria

‘I #choosetochallenge the stereotypes and preconceived notions of female roles in education and the workplace, particularly in science and technology. Instead, I choose to advocate for everyone to have the ability to follow their curiosity boundlessly.’ - Natasha

‘I #choosetochallenge myself and those around me by putting intersectional feminism into everyday practice and continuing to educate and learn. I can’t wait to make sure all voices are heard on theVOV.’ - Lottie

What do you choose to challenge?

Happy International Women’s Day!
