About Section

Women deserve the same rights as men, every human deserve equal rights. I wanted to bring awareness to gender discrimination because as a young female I want to be treated as an equal and not less than anyone for my gender. Gender discrimination can happen in jobs, school, and many other places. I hope I can bring awareness to this topic and provided other young females!

Inspiring Quotes

  1. "Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights."- Hillary Clinton
  2. "I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves."- Mary Shelley
  3. "No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half of its citizens."- Michelle Obama
  4. "I think it’s very important for that a woman start out with the premise that she matters equally. I think that’s really important. And if you start out with that premise, then the decisions you make will fall into place, in a way. I say that because I think many societies condition women to think of themselves as just slightly below men, and then it makes it easier to justify many of the things women are deprived of. And we decide to say, the premise is different. The premise is full equality."- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
