The Power of Women Supporting Women

Women supporting women is a powerful force that has the ability to create positive change in our personal and professional lives. When women come together, we can create a community of women who inspire and motivate each other working towards a more inclusive and equitable world. The power of women supporting women is undeniable and it’s time we harness it to its fullest potential. 

Women supporting women is an empowerment concept that’s gained a lot of attention recently and that you will hear a lot about this week.  It’s this movement that encourages girls and women to support and empower each other to achieve their goals and overcome societal barriers.  It may have started out as a marketing campaign,  but has become a genuine movement that promotes solidarity, empowerment, and advocacy.  The unique challenges that women face in society have been highlighted in this movement and women are finding support and solidarity from other women who have had shared experiences. The benefits of women supporting women are backed by science, as studies show that women who have supportive female role models and mentors are more likely to succeed in their careers and personal lives. 

Collective Power for Social Change 

However, it’s important to note and recognize that conflict and disagreements can arise when women come together.  Nevertheless, when women support each other, they can create a powerful network of individuals who share common goals and values. This can be especially important in male-dominated industries where women face unique challenges. Women have the potential to leverage their collective power to advocate for social change. One example of women using their collective power to bring about social change can be seen in Hollywood and with the #metoo movement. As actresses came forward to voice their experience of sexual assault it sparked waves of powerful allegations against powerful men in a high-profile industry. This collective voice has helped women break their silence and hold their abusers accountable making a safer place in the environment for all women.

Whether you live in a small town or a big city, there are both advantages and disadvantages to women supporting women. In smaller communities, there may be fewer networking opportunities and mentors, but women often feel a greater sense of community and connection.  Women in larger communities may have access to more resources and networks but also face greater competition and pressure to succeed. No matter where you live, consider getting involved and finding support from other women. There are a number of ways such as women networking groups, attending women’s conferences, getting mentorship or coaching from women, etc. 

Some Women supporting Women networks for my loyal readers from Aruba include WOW_Aruba, Women Empowering Women Aruba, and Uniting Women Aruba.  For my ladies’ stateside upstate, Hudson Valley Women in Business is a great networking group for women.
