Four things about empowerment




1. How this blind girls' friends/family helped her see colour.

2. This cute gif:


3. At JustLove's Launch yesterday we announced the Unashamed campaign, a partnership between JustLove and Restored, where Christians take a firm stance in fighting violence against women. I'm so excited for this! It's something I think the church needs desperately (as part of a need for more christian conversation on gender issues in general) and I'm so ready to learn and grow and stand for this cause.

4. It's so important to remember that empowerment needs to happen to every person in society, not just those who can afford it - the quest for the empowerment of self does not give the license to exploit others. Read this article, on the new H&M campaign.

... feminism isn’t a trend to be enjoyed for autumn 2016, nor is it a privilege that is only supposed to be accessible to women who can afford to shop. It’s a longstanding commitment to equality in both the developed and developing world...
