Social media is a catalyst for the advancement of everyone's rights. It's where we're reminded that we're all human and all equal. It's where people can find and fight for a cause, global or local, popular or specialized, even when there are hundreds of miles between them.
Queen Rania of Jordan
We came equals into this world, and equals shall we go out of it.

"Women's empowerment is not about women alone, which is why I pledged to create a short film that communicates clearly the need to change the mindset of boys before they become men." - Alex Kuruvilla, managing director of Condé Nast India
Jennifer Kogan, a journalist of the Washington Post reported, “A 2010 study followed 426 boys through middle school to investigate the extent to which boys favor stereotypically male qualities, such as emotional stoicism and physical toughness, over stereotypically feminine qualities, such as emotional openness and communication, and whether they have any influence on their mental well-being.
Results showed that as boys progressed through adolescence they tended to further embrace hyper-masculine stereotypes. But boys who remained close to their mothers did not act as tough and were more emotionally available. The research, conducted by Arizona State University professor Carlos Santos, showed that closeness to fathers did not seem to have the same effect.
This detail is important data to have because male suicide rates reportedly start to rise by age 16. In addition to combating depression it seems evident that boys who stay connected to their feelings will be able to express their anger in healthier, more productive ways.”
"When the words 'like a girl' are used to mean something bad, it is profoundly disempowering.” - Lauren Greenfield, filmmaker and director of #LikeAGirl
One of the things about equality is not just that you be treated equally to a man, but that you treat yourself equally to the way you treat a man.

Lesley Gore “You Don’t Own Me” 1963
This song inspired young women during the early 60s and played a major factor in the rise of the second wave feminist movement. “You Don’t Own Me” was used as an anthem for the movement during the 60s. Gore, in her own opinion, said "My take on the song was: I'm 17, what a wonderful thing, to stand up on a stage and shake your finger at people and sing you don't own me"
History is herstory too.
