One of the best ways to support women of all ages in your life is to find any way you can to empower them in their day-to-day lives. Giving women a voice and a seat at the table is important, and there are endless ways to do so. Here we share a few of the many initiatives you can take to show women everywhere the support they deserve and encourage them in their journeys through life.

There are 24 different strong women your girls will learn about playing this bingo game. Get for your troop in the shop.

1. Recognize Their Leadership Skills

Recognizing the signs of a strong leader in women and encouraging those qualities is a great way to build early self-confidence. Provide opportunities for young women to take initiative through extracurricular activities, volunteering opportunities, and other group environments.

Sometimes the best way for young girls to develop leadership qualities is to look to the other women in their life. Use this questionnaire from Redbubble for conversation starters that will help girls gain inspiration in different areas of life from the women they’re closest to.

2. Agree to Disagree

There is a big difference between a respectful disagreement and personally attacking someone for having a differing opinion. Ultimately, not every woman will agree on every single thing. Knowing how to hear out somebody else’s point of view without stubbornly belittling them is the best way to create a healthier dialogue.

Society often disparages women who express themselves freely or have unpopular opinions. The line between disagreement and criticism can be thin, but it’s important to know the difference and avoid blatant negativity in order to not unreasonably dismiss women in the future.

3. Learn How To Actively Listen

Active listening is a powerful skill and can make a major difference in female empowerment. Showing a woman that you are hearing what they are saying and making an effort to understand their points will validate their concerns as something that truly matters.

This is an important ability that we should teach children from a young age, and it can truly make a difference in women’s lived experiences. Uplift women who share their experiences and allow themselves to be vulnerable, and make your support clear as you listen.

4. Kill Them With Kindness

Women deal with so much negativity throughout life, from the time they are young girls until they have grown into mature, independent women. The power of affirmation and kindness in the face of this negativity is huge, and women and young girls need to be able to show each other mutual respect.

The best way to show this respect is with an authentic, thoughtful compliment. Not only is it important to give women the praise they deserve, but it should be for the right reasons. Foster self-love by complimenting personality, achievements, and other aspects that make them who they are
