Women Matter: a new definition for life

Welcome to Women Matter, a space where women from different walks of life share what it means to be female in today’s society.

We recognise that women from all backgrounds still experience disadvantage because leaders of government and businesses are mostly men who don’t always understand women’s needs and rights.

We want to change that.

We’ll be asking women and girls to contribute thought pieces on what they are experiencing — in the staff room to the board room, from self harm on the streets to childbirth in prison, from family to finance to disability and more.

We’ll also have personal testimonies from women who have experienced trauma in their lives looking at what has made them survivors.

By exploring the impact this has on women and their children, and hearing from them what adaptations should be made to help women flourish we hope to get people talking about how to build a fairer, more equal country.

We thereby hope this blog will become a movement for better equality in society. Because we believe that when women and girls are able to flourish, all of society benefits.
