TO THE WOMEN WHO DON’T GIVE A FUSS.
This is for the women who have a job, pay their bills & chase their dreams.
The women who stay up late at night to finish a task and wake up early to never miss the sunrise.
The women who don’t have a job because they are willing to drop everything to take care of the people they love.
The women who treat themselves like a princess because they know their worth. Who love themselves because they know that it’s the first step to loving others.
The women who are not married but happy and enjoying their social status.
The women who are in a relationship and know how to handle and keep their man because they know he’s the one.
The women who wear many hats in the morning and high heels at night.
The women who don’t give a damn about pleasing everybody just to seek for validation from them.
The women who eat like a viking and don’t give an ounce of care if guys will not accept their curve and baby fat.
These are the women who are aggressive but real, relentless but gentle and bold but loving. These are the women who deserve all the best in the world.
CHIN UP. DO NOT LET ANY MAN LOOK DOWN ON YOU. BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT JUST A WOMAN. YOU ARE A WOMAN!

*SCREAMS* Is that ME being featured in a Goli Ambassadors’ International Women’s Day email/newsletter!?!?!

Patricia Gualinga, from the Sarayaku territory of Ecuador, who we got to see speak at the Women’s Earth & Climate Action Network event at the UN Climate Talks in Paris, is leading a coalition of women from the Ecuadorian Amazon in protests on International Women’s Day against Ecuador’s controversial deal with a Chinese oil company that hands over Sápara and Kichwa tribal land to oil exploration.
STATEMENT OF AMAZONIAN INDIGENOUS WOMEN IN DEFENSE OF LIFE, TERRITORY, AND ‘GOOD LIVING’ (BUEN VIVIR)
Puyo, Ecuador, Feburary 02, 2016
In the city of Puyo, we, Amazonian indigenous women, representatives of the Sapara and Shiwiar Nationalities, the Kichwa Kawsak Sacha and Sarayaku Peoples, and the communities of the Bobonaza Basin, want to express our deep concern with the contract of exploitation and exploration signed by the Ministry of Hydrocarbons with the company Andes Petroleum for Blocks 79 and 83 that directly affect the Sapara, Kichwa, Shiwiar, and Sarayaku territories.
We reject the signing of this contract which will affect our territories, the forest, the water, and the air; exactly how we have seen it occur in Block 10 in the Province of Pastaza. This is where serious social and environmental impacts have been generated, where women are the main victims and their ability to feed their families becomes impaired. There is deterioration of family health, and they suffer the division of their communities and other forms of violence.
This government policy has infringed on our rights since we have not been adequately consulted. We as women have not been considered and we have not participated in those government informational meetings. Plus, the consultations were not carried out as mandated by the ruling of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) in the 2012 case Sarayaku v. Ecuador.
Blocks 79 and 83 affect more than 40% of the Sapara Nationality’s territory which was recognized by UNESCO as a “Masterpiece of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity” on May 18, 2001 because their language and culture are in danger of disappearing. This threat is increased with the development of an oil project in these territories.
Therefore, we reject this oil policy of the government and the possibility of further oil concessions in the southern Amazon; We denounce that deceptive mechanisms have been used to obtain signatures of community members in order to justify supposed prior consultation processes. We stand firm in the defense of our territories, for the defense of life and the good living of our families and communities.
In her opening remarks at the WECAN event in Paris, Osprey Orielle Lake, founder of the U.S.-based Network, recounted a conversation she’d had with an indigenous Sarayaku mother. “We carry our babies on our backs at night through the jungle,” the woman told her. “We can do anything.”
Hi, everybody! @nrdc Science Reporter Perrin Ireland here. I love upping rad women who kick butt on behalf of the environment, so in honor of International Women’s Day—the best day of the year—here’s a look back at some of our favorite sheroes.
Put Rachel Carson on the $20 bill!
Shannon Bennett, virus hunter.
Step aside, gentlemen. Women from around the world are leading the way on solving climate change. Never was that more apparent than in Paris—below are some of the fierce women we encountered who are making moves to stop global warming.
We got to see Sylvia Earle and Jane Goodall, two science pioneers, tell it like it is in Paris.
And, of course, the legend that is Patti Smith shared her hope with us at a concert.
I got to go to the California Academy of Sciences for the Women in Science Summit, scribing talks from Goodall and Earle, as well as many other amazing women in the field.
Turns out Sylvia Earle likes scribing, too!
And here at NRDC, there are many inspiring women leaders who light the way toward climate solutions. We’ve featured them this past year in our #womancrushwednesdayposts.
Thank you to all the women fighting for our forests, rivers, clean air, homes, and families. We are so proud and grateful for you!
To start off our #WomensHistoryMonth highlights, we’re honored to showcase Dr. Leslie Caromile (@lacaromile), an assistant professor at @UConn studying prostate cancer!
Dr. Caromile is of Native American and Italian descent and received her PhD in pathology and mechanisms of disease at the University of Washington.
Her lab studies a protein called prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), how it participates in prostate tumor growth, and how mutations in PSMA contribute to health disparities.
Dr. Caromile also believes in giving back to one’s community, and as such devotes herself to mentoring students from historically excluded groups in the biomedical sciences.
Dr. Caromile says, “Science is best when the rich diversity of our perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences flourish. […] It is essential that all members of the community feel welcome, … all individuals are respected, and all voices are heard.” Thank you, Dr. Caromile!

Ti teremtés csodái ezzel az illusztrációmmal hajtok fejet, amely Zboray Ernő gyönyörű soraihoz készült, csak erre az alkalomra.
mindennap#internationalwomansday:
“ A búzát, a rozst és a többi kalászos növényt, mindenhol a világon férfiak aratják. A rizst - a nők. A szent rizs védőszeleme is nő: az isteni Seri Kandi. Ki ad életet az ember fiának? A nő. Mi ad életet a trópus lakójának? A rizs. A rizs és a Nő, -micsoda mélységes szimbólum, a gondolatnak minő szépsége! “
illusztrációm Zboray Ernő : Tizenöt év Jáva szigetén c. könyvének (1936)
“A szent rizs” fejezetéhez

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Today like every day I’m celebrating those who fight day in and day out to have every ounce of their womanhood respected. For the trans women. For the Black women. For the queer women. For my mother and grandmothers and sisters and homegirls. For the women who can’t take off for #DayWithoutAWoman. For women of every experience. We run this.

Growing up I wanted to become a Chemical Engineer, an Investment Banker, a Model, a Real Estate Investor, a Fashion Icon, a Millionaire, a Wife and a Mum.
I wanted to become so many things but the question was ‘did I believe that I could become all these things?’…..
The answer to that question at so many points in my life was ‘NO’.
Growing up there was a lack of representation of women who looked like me. Actually there was a lack of representation of women in general. Although I am proud that things are changing for the better, I still walk in to meetings, places and appointments as the only woman of colour or the only woman full stop.
Today I am proud to say that I have achieved 78% of the things I wanted to become when I was a child.
Feminism is about empowering women of all ages, sizes, races and religions to become everything they have ever dreamed of becoming. Feminism is about encouraging women to stand firm in their decisions, goals and beliefs.
Feminism is about the entire world seeing woman as equals and respecting their decisions.
But most importantly…..for me, feminism is about showing little girls who dream of becoming something, that there are women out there who look just like them, who are doing what they want to do.
Feminism is about representation!
Thank you to all the women representing!
