It is truly a privilege to be able to support all women's causes on a global level. It is remarkable that something as simple as television can empower us to create change and awareness in the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think if women are visible in the media, truly visible, in an empowered role, it empowers us to be more visible in any area of our lives.
There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men, but we don't have to be men, because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.
As we have more women in power, so the plays and the TV dramas are reflecting what's happening.
We have to give feminism a shot. Out of sheer self preservation, we have to stand aside and let women run the show.
You're allowed to make things for women on television, and there's not like... you don't have to go through the humiliation of having made something directed at women. There it's just accepted, whereas if it's a feature, it's like 'So, talk to me about chick flicks.' It's like... I don't think you want to hear my opinion about this.
Empowering women leads to a more inclusive growth of society and the nation.
Women in Film and Television is such an important body.

There is definitely a way in which women are raised to be less proactive, less business-oriented, and less willing to jump into creative no man's land. I think media has more of an influence on how we perceive gender identity than anything else.
I hope that through Fast Forward, we can encourage women everywhere to know their power wherever they find themselves; to find their purpose; and to connect with others in order to create a better world - especially for women and girls.
