Women Together - Safe and Mighty

Women Together - Safe and Mighty
  
This week we hear from Niki Clarke of My Black Dog about women supporting each other
 
In the evenings, I take my dog for a walk around my neighbourhood and sometimes pass a group of women who like to gather together on the benches to talk, share snacks and recount the day. Each time I walk past, they wave and call out greetings, smiling as they do, and although it is passing and only for a few seconds, it marks the start of a good evening. I can’t quite put my finger on why this small interchange puts a spring in my step and makes me feel so welcomed, there’s something warm and invisible that passes through the air and I feel - safe I suppose. 
 
There’s something very special about groups of women coming together, at family gatherings I love to see all of my (many) aunts and cousins, who are all female bar one, putting dishes together, helping each other with the table, playing with the small children running around and finally calling everyone together to eat. There’s something instinctual that happens when they come together, a sort of knowing, of what needs to be done and when, of who to assign tasks to and why, they become like a well-tuned instrument all working together. 
 
When women support each other and work together, they can be a force to be reckoned with! The #metoo movement hit the world with such ferocious passion, just one voice speaking out united millions of women throughout the world, and challenged a system that has now been undeniably changed forever.
 
When we recognise the power that comes from joining together and creating nurturing supportive environments for women, we can start to see the value of a collective, the well-tuned instrument formed by women’s intuition.
 
I, for one, am glad to be a part of the collective, to learn from my sisters and raise them up in turn, it feels, as I said - safe I suppose, safe and mighty!
