through education, love, and empowerment. We

MISSION OF WOMENITE

Fuelled by a set of commonly shared values


and spurred on by our passion, our mission is
an unwavering determination to the betterment
of society. Being work orientated as we are, we
believe in doing rather than the preaching of
doing. We work tirelessly towards dissemination
of information to raise awareness about issues
of consequence and bring about a shift in
widespread mentality.

Vision of womenite
We envision a society based off of not only
equality but the softer nuances of feminism. Our
vision is helping create a world acceptive and
appreciative of people because of who they are
and not impose their ideas of gender, sexuality,
ability, race, religion, class or caste on others.
We believe in love and have faith in the power it
exhibits.
