What does women's empowerment mean to you?

To me, women’s empowerment means breaking down the patriarchy and creating a world where women feel comfortable taking up space and being unapologetically themselves.

What is something that you want others to know?

Overcoming the patriarchy and achieving women’s liberation requires dismantling capitalism and the oppressive structures within it.
