Women make up more than 50% of the population and if we spent the majority of our hard earned money on businesses which directly (or even better, only) financially benefited women, we would see a huge jump in the living conditions of women around the entire world! We really are the majority and should be acting that way! Time to make some positive social change, one dollar at a time!
Even if we just dedicated 50% of our hard earned money to be spent at kick-arse lady businesses, the change would be huge! It would be hard though, trying to find alternative places to shop. Hopefully I can help!
Can you imagine buying your veggies from a woman with her own market? Only buying your beauty products from a lady toughing it out to make her mark on the billion dollar patriarchal “beauty” industry?? Just imagine what good you could do if all your gifts came from your neighbour who is struggling to make ends meet for her family?
I know we make less money, and I know that a lot of us choose to spend our time caring for our family inside the home rather than working outside it but just image the impact we, all women, could make on global markets if we decided to actively seek out businesses which positively affect women and ONLY spend our (bloody hard earned) money there. Image the extra staff these women could take on if their turnover increased, imagine all the women in jobs they love!! Just imagine if all our money allocated for charity went to women in our community, our global community of all women!
JUST IMAGINE IT!!
Or, even better, don’t just imagine it... let’s get out there and do it!! I am so very proud to have been able to showcase the businesses we have already, and there are many more to come. We need to diversify now and get all types of traders on our blog (our own personal social change database). Child carers, seamstresses, lawyers, tax accountants, gardeners, tour guides... do you know anyone?? Please get them in touch with me... I want us, this growing community, to put dollars in their pockets! Nothing to lose, everything to gain. Then we can all make an informed decision and choose to spend our money there instead of a company which doesn't directly benefit a woman who is making a go of it!
Just Imagine!!!!
