I shall not take for granted the things women do and what they contribute to our society
Recognising the expectations that we sometimes put on women are disproportionately high compared to those placed upon men, creating the pressure to be perfect. Appreciating the role of women and the strength they bring to our lives.
I shall inspire women to put their health and well-being first, without guilt or triviality
Key decisions within health services are commonly made by men, who occupy most of the senior positions. Recognizing the diversity of women’s health needs, ie. mentally, emotionally & spiritually.
I shall be aware of the stereotypes I impose onto women and not confine them to my own beliefs
Stereotypes frequently influence behaviours, with many consequences, not the least those that arise from the disparate treatment of men and women in the workplace.
I shall embrace women as equal partners and encourage them to contribute their views and/or decisions, and value them as much as my own
Believing that women are still subject to many prejudices. Acknowledging that women sometimes face a glass-ceiling at the workplace that is invisible to us. Being mindful of how our reaction to their decision-making affect them.
I shall appreciate beauty beyond the physical — in women’s intellect, spirit, and diversity
Enjoying women when they are confident and comfortable with who they really are. That’s what makes her, her.
I shall liberate women from fear by not staying silent in the face of violations
Encouraging each other to see ourselves as responsible, caring, and non-violent partners.
I shall … ask a woman in my life to provide a manifesto point.
