Hey fam, today’s word of the day is “Misogyny” 🚫💁‍♀️
It’s a real thing that’s been holding women back, especially in behind the scenes professions . But here’s the truth—change starts with us.

To see more women thrive behind the camera, we gotta call out the negativity, support each other, and create spaces where everyone feels valued.
Let’s push for equal opportunities, lift each other up, and keep the convo open. Because when women rise, the stories we tell get 100x better.

Spread love, stay woke, and let’s make the industry a better place for ALL women.

International Day of the Girl Child is an international observance day declared by the United Nations; it is also called the Day of Girls and the International Day of the Girl.

October 11, 2012, was the first Day of the Girl Child. The observation supports more opportunity for girls and increases awareness of gender inequality faced by girls worldwide based upon their gender. This inequality includes areas such as access to education, nutrition, legal rights, medical care, and protection from discrimination, violence against women and forced child marriage.

The celebration of the day also “reflects the successful emergence of girls and young women as a distinct cohort in development policy, programming, campaigning and research.
