World Pulse
Jensine Larsen, Founder
"I often think that one of the
most radical societal shifts we could imagine would be a world where all women
and girls feel free and powerful in their bodies, all the time."
How would life be different if all
of our bodies were free from assault? What if we transformed our communities
from war zones to safety zones? What if modern-day underground-railroad
networks carried trafficked girls to freedom? What if, as playwright and
activist Eve Ensler points out, we channeled the energy we waste on hating our
own bodies and used it to change society and be more present with our families
and our communities?
All over the world, women
instinctually know the answer. They are building safe houses, lobbying to
change laws, running girls' soccer clubs in places like Saudi Arabia, launching
savvy PR campaigns to challenge traditions, and creating curriculums to teach
children alternatives to violence. These vanguards believe, as I do, that if
half the population were released from constant physical and emotional trauma,
public health would improve dramatically, economies would soar, families would
begin to heal, and more women would have the confidence and stamina to assume
leadership positions and reach their highest potential.
Every woman and girl would be
"in her zone," moving more freely through the world. She could be
focused on what matters to her, no longer having to protect and hide parts of
herself. Standing tall, laughing boisterously, free to love, to dance, to
sweat, to run for office, to start a business, to travel, to climb mountains,
completely in sync with herself and on top of her game!
