With arms entwined the Girls to Women initiative created a beautiful support bubble at its first networking event last month. On a sunny day in May more than twenty women, representing the stages of womanhood from puberty to post-menopause, came together to pledge their support to guide and support each other through the different periods of their lives. Girls to Women, which was set up a year ago by Liliane Uwimana from Diversity Business Incubator (DBI), is passionate that the girls of tomorrow are supported by the women of today:
“It’s not easy to be a woman and grow in a society that demands much from you with no navigation at all. So, we’ve started this movement to see girls evolve and be confident in all aspects of life. Our other passion is to share skills and resources with those who are less fortunate and make sure we don’t leave anyone behind.”
The Girls to Women platform is now seeking women to mentor each other, and as Liliane says, “help empower, develop and educate our young women to embrace all their potential.”
