Hey, it’s Kim here! I’m coming to the blog today to share some important thoughts and reflections. 

On Monday we celebrated International Women’s Day. My team at Dochas Psychological is made up of a group of strong women – and I am so proud to say that! As we continued to see so many amazing messages pour out on social media over the course of the day, we got to thinking. What does feminism mean to us? So, I thought I’d share some of our reflections as a team on this week of celebrating women. 

Feminism. 

It’s such a powerful word. We’ve seen this term used in so many ways, across various platforms. But it can be easy to forget the true meaning behind it. 

I think everyone can agree that the intention behind feminism is to create change. Create change in equity, in human rights, and in support. 

But as a team we realized something when we opened our eyes to social media this week. 

Supporting feminism can mean something slightly different to each individual person, and it can be shown in different ways to others. At the end of the day, we can show support by building women up, fighting inequality, and using our voice. 

We acknowledge the positive impact that celebrating International Women’s Day has on our daughters, our mothers, our grandmothers, our friends, our boss, and everyone in between! 

But what we hope for is this celebration every day. We challenge you to take a moment each day to reflect on women’s rights, to recognize the work that still needs to be done, and to use your voice to build up the women around you, and to empower yourself! If we want to be part of the change, and if we want to show our power as women, we first need to recognize the power we have within ourselves. 

We are stronger together than we are apart.
