🔑 Networking is key!
The more people you know, the faster you will grow. Get to know other people, make a connection with them so you can figure out how to help them, and in turn, this will help you.
We need a world where women's rights are respected.
Strong legal frameworks must be put in place to advance gender equality in all areas.
