"For me, being a woman in today's culture signifies a number of things. Being a source of support for others and a woman who empowers and encourages other women. This suggests that we should be proud of being nice, strong, and courageous human beings. We work hard to overcome any obstacles that may stand in our way, and having a strong network of female allies greatly helps. You will require nothing more than the applause, the inspiration, and the love and grace-filled support. My mother, my sisters, and my friends all motivate me to strive to be the best version of myself every day."

∙ Aminath Nahida - Licensed Counselor
"Women of today are independent in every aspect of their lives. Selfish enough to have self-love and compassion towards self. More adaptable to the changes that hardship brings to them. More keen to learn on improving themselves. Constructive in strengthening their self-confidence. More skillful to build a healthy relationship with themselves, for that is how they build better relationships with their loved ones and make life more beautiful and meaningful. They are slowly learning their worth and realizing that they are irreplaceable in the role they play on this planet ❤️"
∙ Aishath Rukhusana - Social Activist and Union Leader
"The role of women has changed over the years and every word, action, or deed that a woman does today without fear of being judged is justice for all women who have fiercely fought the battle for equality. However, there are still women who have not realized their worth & freedom, women who continue to be oppressed, abused, and treated as objects. And it is up to the empowered women to raise the marginalized women along with them."
