Why Women Struggle to Love Themselves

Women have been fighting all their lives to be considered an equal in our society and let me tell you, history does not lie. We had to fight for the right to vote, the right to make decisions regarding our bodies, the right to be considered an equal (Equal Rights Amendment), and the list goes on. The sad part is we are STILL fighting today. By receiving less pay than men, by being teared down when we openly talk about sexual assault, by being low-numbered in government positions, and not enough women getting elected to contribute to political decisions.

So, yes! Women struggle to love themselves.

It’s 2018 but we are marching, shouting, protesting, and vocalizing the issues that have been affecting our lives. We currently only have 20% of women representing the United States Congress, therefore we have 80% of members who are men; making decisions and debating about issues that require the voice of a woman. Not because we are better than men but because we have equal rights, as all people should.

ICLAIMIT! Women Empowerment Pop-Up #iclaimit

Women Empowerment is definitely getting a lot of attention these days but what does it really mean? What does it look like? This movement is not to exclude genders but it is to bring awareness that women supporting each other is more powerful than competing against each other.

Some ways to encourage this movement is through events, community efforts, and supporting each other. Last month, I had the opportunity to support a friend at her women empowerment pop-up event presented by her brand and organization called I Claim It.
