Intentional Actions

Our goal is for Every Woman is Worthy™ to become more than words. That’s where you come in. Commit to a simple action for yourself or a woman in your life.

What kind of action?

It can be anything that directly addresses or meets an individual or collective need. It can be big or small. For someone you know or an organization that impacts women. It can be a financial contribution, gift or service. Or it can be entirely free, relying on your goodwill, compassion, or assistance. It can be something attainable today, next month, or this year. The choices are entirely yours. Who needs your help? What aspect of women’s wellness feels pressing to you? How can you take one simple step to improve the life of a woman?

Psst – It’s important to acknowledge that taking action for your own needs is critical. Maybe you need to direct this intentional action to yourself? We applaud that too.
