Brave women around the world are sharing stories of sexual harassment, shattering ceilings and cultural norms. The world is listening!
“Wonder Woman”, a movie about a female superhero directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot became the highest grossing superhero film in history, raking in nearly $1 billion at the domestic box office.
As Gadot said during her Critics’ Choice Awards acceptance speech: “I want to share this award with all the women and men who stand for what’s right, for those who can’t stand or speak for themselves. My commitment to all of you isa; I will never be silenced and we will continue to band together to make strides uniting for equality.”
The gender gap has begun to narrow. Analysis from the World Economic Forum (WEF) predicts that it could take 100 years to get close to equity at the current rate of change. But there is movement. It is being brought about by women who are focused on engaging women, communities of color and new voters. Their voices grow louder everyday as champions of truth like Oprah Winfrey speak out:
“ A new day is on the horizon. And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women…and some pretty phenomenal men, all fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody has to say 'Me too' again."
The momentum won’t be stopped. Progress is coming. It takes dedication to see real change and real momentum on social justice issues. It means never giving up and remembering to always fight, fight, fight for women and girls!
