What ways do you think are most helpful to bring change?

I volunteer at local nonprofits for causes that I’m passionate about, and I talk to women I encounter there as well as in daily life about my views regarding “highest benefit for women.” I donate clothing and supplies to women’s shelters, and organize for other women I know to do the same (such as collecting donations and then taking them in myself - I have found that many people would like to donate, if it’s made easy for them to do so, and sometimes the barrier really is just reaching out to a nonprofit and then driving there). Women’s shelters are not only just shelters, but also resource centers for women in all kinds of situations. They have information and people who can help women trying to escape abusive relationships, they help direct women to free or sliding-scale therapy, career coaching, childcare, and much more. They’re a great place to volunteer your time. If you don’t feel like you have the capacity to volunteer IN a shelter, you can always give them a call or send an email letting them know what your skill sets are and see if there’s anything you can do to help them within those skill sets. Maybe you’re good at building websites, and you can help update theirs. Maybe you have experience running payroll or book keeping; they likely need a treasurer or someone to help with organizing documents for their accountant. There’s tons of roles to fill that aren’t client-facing, if you prefer working out of the public eye.
