Gender equality is a human right, but there remains an inequity in access to opportunities for women. So the world needs women more than ever!
Even though women are on average better educated and have created empires that are changing the world, only 25% of Fortune 500 companies leaders are women.
In the eyes of many, society has come a long way. However, the reality is that 700 million women were married before 18 years old and 250 million before age 15 worldwide.
The combination of women’s voices can uplift and create unimaginably positive results across communities. Several studies show how a lack of gender equity hinders sustainable development.
The 19th amendment is a monumental achievement that secured the voting rights of all American women. Attitude Is Free wants to honor this important event by showing five steps to continue moving society closer to gender equality:
1. Learn from Other Women’s Mark in History
Throughout history, there have been extraordinary contributions from women to society. Some are recognized, while others have been kept silent.
If we jump into a timeline, Agnodice was the first Greek woman who courageously practiced medicine when women were sentenced to death for doing so. And in the United States, Susan B. Anthony was the icon of the Women's Suffrage Movement and was inspired by her belief in equality. She left a legacy that we take for granted today as women - the right to vote!
So why not leave a mark on women's rights and freedom today?

2. Stand up for what you believe in
We have all been in situations where there is a lack of inclusivity and adversity. It’s essential to change that with a safe approach! Sometimes we witness something in our daily routines that isn't right, and we ignore it.
Just by being there and showing kindness, strength, and support can change someone's day for the better! Whether at work, in sports, or even social events - your role model status is invaluable!
At Attitude Is Free, we believe anything's possible when it comes to encouragement, so you should never be afraid to support someone and help them reach their dreams.

3.Make an impact with education
Girls’ education is often cited as one of the world's most important investments. It can lead to healthier families, more resilient economies, and empowered women.
Anna Filosofova was a woman who believed that it was better to devote herself solely to the education and training of poor women while also giving them an opportunity for decent work.
Education is the key to unlocking higher levels of intelligence and greater capacity for critical thinking.
It's also a formidable weapon against ignorance, which keeps people from questioning their current circumstances or preparing themselves for what lies ahead.

4. Technology as a venue for empowerment
Technology is a gift that can break down barriers and help women around the world move forward.
Emerging technologies are changing the game of professional life. These new tools for women open up possibilities and offer opportunities to redefine what success looks like in their careers. As smartphones and the internet have become integral to everyday life, they also bring unheard and intentionally muted voices of women who were once confined to their homes.
Research has shown that women in certain countries can help create a more durable peace by actively shaping the process. This role includes engaging in civil actions and democracy while participating in the international public spheres.

5. Share opportunities and work TOGETHER.
Many women in business have unbelievable talents, but they're not recognized. If you're in a leadership or executive role, look for women who would benefit from an upcoming opportunity and recommend them.
In a world where equality is the key, there are many ways to break taboos. With unity in mind and collaboration at heart, women can achieve anything they want!
When we raise each other up and work together, everyone will become a champion of equality!

The empowerment of women and girls is not just an objective itself. It is like wearing the blazers of former iconic women and embodying their attitudes towards life - paving our way towards a better and more sustainable social and economic growth.
The pillars of utilizing the full potential of humanity come from international achievement in women’s equality. But it isn’t complete until there is recognition of how far we've gotten towards it and until we actually reach equality.
Like women in the past who fought for equal rights, let’s make choices that lead to dignity and respect so we can attain what others once thought of as unimaginable.
We invite you to join our revolution to change the narrative for women and share your journey with us.
Who knows? You could even inspire someone else to put on their blazer someday soon.
