I am supporting We Encourage because every girl and woman deserves a chance to live free, happy and meaningful life. Together we can make positive impact on female rights by speaking up and taking action by creating solutions to support the change in every day lives. 

I feel like we here, at We Encourage, have the same goals: to make humanity available for everyone -- starting from women and children who've had their voices suffocated for generations; their personality and value and dignity buried, their future ripped away from them the moment they were born. It's time to change things, to take action.

Growing up in a traditional country in which culture have a strong influence on the status of women, I have witnessed the discriminatory practices begin even before birth and affect every aspect of a child’s future. I am lucky not to experience all of these! However, I feel my responsibility to build awareness around women empowerment, and that is what I am doing here at We Encourage! We can not change the culture, but we can together change people mindset!

As a mother of a girl child, this way of treating millions of girls as a commodity is unacceptable. We cannot afford to live in a world, where girls are exploited, raped and abused. This behavior and thinking pattern of women being less equal has too many negative side effects starting from overpopulation to stress and anxiety in masses.

I think the main value of We Encourage is to be a point of reference in this area and this fits very well with one of my deepest values.

I'm a strong believer that one should leave this world better than they found it, so, my mission is to be part of #impactmakers & #actiontakers - We Encourage fits this.

I believe that We Encourage, at its core, stands for the notion that nobody is too young, too old, too poor, or not skilled enough to make a change in the world. We want to give more power to them.

 I love the freedom to choose my future. Therefore I feel what I am doing is really valuable to be able to help and resonate with people who don’t have such opportunities.

I value respecting all people and working for and with others. Doing what is in your means to help if people need and want it.

The team of We Encourage has convinced me on their great mission to bring equality to girls and women around the globe through novel funding mechanisms on a peer-to-peer impact platform.

There are many human rights violations in an equal Finland. In order to fight for human rights, concrete actions are needed - not great speeches about great values! I support the development of the We Encourage AI tool, as it is one concrete act that can be used to address intimate partner violence.

Women empowerment is the top cause that I support. Together we will make the world a better place.

I want to give a word of thank you to We Encourage, because it's giving a great opportunity for a person like me to pilot. It's new for me to do fundraising by myself. I always had in my mind that I want to do something for this cause but I don't know how and where to start. We Encourage encourages me a lot, by helping, supporting and guiding me. It's really great opportunity for a person like me who wants to create a cause.

In Finland, about one in three women face intimate partner violence. Many face intimate partner violence, but few outsiders dare to intervene. This cannot go on like this. No one should let fear or shame be an obstacle to leaving a bad relationship. I support the development of the We Encourage AI tool, as it is one way to address intimate partner violence and break related taboos as well as shame.

Why I chose We Encourage? First of all, they focus on empowering women and girls. Secondly, I love the way they want to make fundraising so visible and easy to be accountable. Giving everyone an opportunity to make a great impact.

We Encourage is doing something that the society can benefit from, and the impact of this project is going to be massive. I'm really excited to be a part of this team that's driven by passion to bring good things to the society.

We all share the same goal - to make the world a better place. Empowering vulnerable girls and women is an outstanding mission that We Encourage focuses on.

I am grateful to have joined We Encourage. The best moments of my life trigger when I am able to help and support the people around me. We Encourage is one of those platforms in which I can experience the best moments of my life.

This is a great opportunity to help women and girls to speak up and empower them, especially at such a difficult and uncertain time. I believe that our team is made up of amazing and ambitious people and all of them are examples of inspiring women who can break the boundaries and think outside the box.

Through empowering other women and girls to stand for themselves we at the same time encourage each other on the way to becoming strong professionals and better world makers.

Having lived in several countries I have witnessed the injustice that many girls face. Now it is time to change that. I am looking forward to empowering, encouraging, and changing lives, together with the WE team.
