“Everything I do is to try to address, or to try to contribute to,
a world that’s more balanced.”

It’s a way of thinking. It’s an ethic."
Shyleen Momanyi ([link removed])
Shyleen is a feminist leader and Executive Director of Womankind partner Young Women’s Leadership Institute in Kenya.
“My feminism found me at the time I needed a space
to direct my anger. Living in a household where my mom experienced violence and could have been a statistic
gave me so much rage. ”

Our #EverydayFeminism campaign ([link removed]) demonstrates that acts of feminism, however small – especially as we witness global rollbacks on women’s rights – can contribute to positive change.
From calling out sexism, to being a pillar of hope and exuding feminist joy, daily acts of feminism are a blueprint for making gender equality a reality.
Join the conversation by submitting your act of #EverydayFeminism now. ([link removed])
