‘Activate Your Life’ is a network designed by women for women, but what does that mean? Are we empowered by our definition of gender or does it limit us and put us in a box? Do you think we as an organisation dwell too much on girlie issues, such as image, diet, chocolate, chick flicks? We know that these issues are of interest to some women but not all and maybe we are missing out by being too girlie? We strive to be relevant and culturally sensitive to other women in our families, streets and work places but maybe there are other issues and a different direction that we could take?

Have a look at this article which challenges some of our stereotypes and look also at some great stuff on www.sophianetwork.org.uk
We’d love to hear your thoughts…
