“It means we are strong, we are powerful, we are independent and we can do anything anyone else can do too! If not more!
Girl power means working together, bringing each other up, succeeding together! Girl Power is important for all women and we can do anything we set our minds to!” - @hylia
“Having my own voice in this world, that's Girl Power to me. To be able to make my decisions, give my opinion, be what I want to be, not have to lower my head before another person for the sole fact of being a woman.
Exactly that, that is what empowers me, knowing that today I can have a voice, and continue fighting for those who don't have that voice. For those girls, teenagers, mothers, WOMEN, who keep being shut, living within families or relationships in which they aren't free and they are treated as if they were nothing. It empowers me to know that we are all united fighting for this change.” - @meixime
“Girl power is about equality, feminism. Empowering women is an attitude that makes more and more women feel empowered.
Never believe that you are not capable.
Don't try to change who you are.
Don't pay attention to criticism that doesn't help you grow.
Love yourself.
As much as there is pressure for women to be a certain way, don't feel bad if you don't follow this standard. You can be tall, short, thin, fat, you can have frizzy, curly, straight, long, short hair, it doesn't matter. You have to look in the mirror and feel good. You have to understand that other people's approval is not essential, and you have to stop looking for it all the time.” - @babu
“To me, girl power is loving and supporting all women regardless of religion, life choices, race, socioeconomic status, weight and actively learning about women with differences so I can better support them. Girl Power is so important to me that I actually have the words tattooed on me.
I am empowered when I have agency in my own body. I am also empowered when I can create art and feel free to follow my own path in life.” - @Cinderpage
“The power in a girl/woman for me is do whatever you feel no matter what other people say, reach your goals and go for it, eat the world.
Being my own boss, creating my business and believing in myself empowers me. Support my family and do what I love.” @maleh
“Girl power means believing in ourselves and in our dreams and strength, cultivating self love, and being supportive of other girls.
What empowers me is knowing that after some difficult things I experienced, I've never lost my smile. I'm here to fulfill my dreams...and I will do it! My friends and my work as a volunteer in a cat shelter too.” - @babel
“For me empowerment means being able to express ourselves and stay true to what we believe in, it's about being courageous and having empathy for others, I think over the years being surrounded by so many strong women in SuicideGirls community has helped me improve and be a better person, learning every day and getting to know different points of view, this is empowerment for me.” - @juliju
