The profit of Inclusion

Before we talk about empowerment, maybe we need to talk about inclusion. Because everything depends on the way you see and treat other people.

Treating other people with respect is very important to make them feel included in society. In this episode, Girl MOVERS discuss with Heather McGhee the importance of inclusion and creating a society in which sustainable economic development and sisterhood are real, and discrimination doesn´t exist.

Since inclusivity is a work in progress, it's important to know how to take part in it, rather than ignoring situations in which disrespectful behaviors occur. In fact, this should be your main purpose. Heather will show you how:

  • Knowing that some of the negative comments come from people who feel ashamed about a part of themselves is a starting point to help them get out of that hate spiral.
  • Start promoting representativity. Try to change the imposed structure, in which being different from what is usual promotes discrimination. “We are in the era of women's leadership”, and we should do what we can to create a more inclusive society in which no one is discriminated against. Avoiding statements like “the man wears the pants in the family” can be the first step. 
  • Start seeing love as a guiding principle that should be followed against discrimination, because “everyone is worthy of love”. As our guest states: “if we had a more loving society that cared for each other, we would have much less mental traumas".
  • Promote responsible behaviors in order to achieve sustainable economic development.

If you follow these principles, you will find prosperity. As indigenous say: maintaining what nature has given us, so that next generations can also have these resources is the key. Although, that may be a big challenge, as the activist refers: “we need a new model based on women's wisdom, which is traditionally more sustaining, more co-creating and more about understanding what we nurture”. 

Are you ready to take part in the change you would like to see in the world? To promote sisterhood and inclusion? Learn how in this episode.
