Hi, I am new in Germany and living in Frankfurt, I have had difficulties with the culture and finding a group of girl friends I can talk about this and who could potentially guide me. If there is anyone here who has maybe gone through the same and lives in Frankfurt or near I would really like to get in touch.
I know from experience that going to a new city is very challenging and sometimes hard, also if you don´t speak the language. The good news here, Frankfurt is full of foreigners in the same situation as you, so people are really open to getting to know new people, I encourage you to be open and join new communities and events, even posting on facebook if there is someone up for a walk… there is always someone and there is always very interesting people.

Hello, I am Mexican and I would like to know how feminism is lived in other countries, here is more openness but I think not as much as in other countries because machismo is more common to find it among the same women
Hey, great to know someone else is from latinamerica I think this can be something common in our countries in general. Feminism is definitely having more resonance in our society and we see more demonstrations and women fighting for their rights, but unfortunately we have a very chauvinistic culture in our Latin American society (in my opinion) and as women we are also » used to» that machismo, in the sense that we have been educated that the man is the one who provides most things, is the one who should have small details, is the one who should pay on dates, should be a gentleman, among other things. And changing the whole mentality of a society is difficult and takes time, but not impossible. I think we have to start with ourselves.

A colleague harassed me at a company event, he went to me, pulled up my dress, and pushed me against the wall, I felt assaulted, kind of violated, I have addressed this issue to HR, and they reacted, he has a legal warning, but still I feel this was taken not too seriously and not seen as an assault, I still feel very uncomfortable with the situation.

Ich fühle mich immer unsicher wenn ich nach Hause abends laufe. Vielleicht ist ein Symptome von PTSD. Ich denke wenn ich über das spreche, würde mich gut tun.

I will never forget the faces of my parents when I told them that I was moving out of the family house when I was 20. My dad told me that «good girls leave their home when they are married» and my mom didn’t talk to me for a week. I was moving out because of work. Because I wanted to build another future for myself, far away from my little town where girls are not allowed to play in the local soccer team. What other hurtful things have you experienced because you are, or identify as a woman?

Hola, soy de México y me considero feminista pero muchos consideran esta postura como una agresión a los hombres, me he topado con comentarios como: «Eres Pro aborto», «por eso no tienes novio» «estas resentida» y cosas así, creo que en México aún no se entiende del todo de que va el feminismo.

Hola! Soy colombiana y he vivido durante muchos años lo que se siente salir a la calle, no sentirte segura, sentirte acosada por comentarios miradas y gestos. Tuve también una experiencia de acoso laboral y otra por parte de un entrenador de gimnasio.. hoy en día me dedico a aprender y compartir experiencias de desarrollo personal. Creo que lo más importante y lindo de ser mujer, es la capacidad que tenemos de comprendernos y apoyarnos entre nosotras.
Hola Maria Alejandra! que bonito que hayas decidido tomar accion y ayudar a mujeres por medio de tu conocimiento y experiencias! Creo que de eso se trata la vida y mas entre nosotras donde la sociedad a veces es tan dura con nosotras y lo unico que necesitamos es apoyo!

Hello to all the brave women reading this blog! <3 I want to remind you that you are powerful, intelligent, and capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Remember that your voice is important and deserves to be heard. Don’t be afraid to speak up and express your opinions, because each and every one of you has something valuable to contribute to the world.
Don’t let gender stereotypes or societal expectations limit you. You are free to be whoever you want to be and to pursue your dreams no matter what others may think.
Stay strong and keep fighting for gender equality and justice for all women. Together, we can make a real change and create a more just and equitable world for all women. Let’s do this!
These words were highly needed by me today!! Thank you for that! Have any of you check out the instagram profiles liked on the main page? There are some useful and cool ones to follow! If you have any other profiles to recommend please share them!

A friend and I are starting a womens group in Darmstadt during the spring season. Its quite simple and any women or who identifies as one is welcome! The plan is to walk around the city, talking about our experiences, moments, or anything that you want to share and maybe receive advice or points of view. All of this while we pick up trash around the city, that way we help each other, and help the community. 🙂 If you want to join please add your contact information on this LINK
