The Definition of Being a Woman

What does it mean to be a woman? Being a woman means you work twice as hard to be accepted in a STEM company. Being a woman means getting asked “who is watching the kids” when you run your errands. Being a woman means men perceiving you as being bossy when you voice your opinion.

"What does it mean to be a woman? Being a woman means you work twice as hard to be accepted in a STEM company. "

You see, FEM believes anyone can be a woman, no matter what the chromosomes say. Being a woman comes from within, and if you can find your inner woman, we believe you are unstoppable! Everyone who identifies as a woman deserves to be who they are meant to be with their head held high. Don’t you dare drop your tiara.

In honour of pride month, FEM would like to recite our main interest in uplifting and supporting women in business and especially women in the LGBTQ+ community. Did you know that more than 40% of young members of the LGBTQ+ community suffer from mental health issues? And women are more likely than men to experience depression? Therefore, we strongly believe in the importance of creating a safe space for one to explore their creativity online. Let loose and be yourself!

If you want to celebrate pride month with us, head over to the following charities for the LGBTQ communities:

1. Egale Canada Human Rights Trust

Their mission is to improve the lives of 2SLGBTQI people in Canada along with advocating to an international audience as well. Their services range from informing public policy, raising awareness to cultural change and promoting human rights through education.

2. Pride in Art Society

The association sorts to merch the diverse communities together to support artistic collaboration and celebration of the queer history and artists. The exhibition showcases the “recognition, respect and visibility of people who transgress gender and sexual norms” (Pride in Art Society).
