Who Run The World?

Assalamualaikum to you, you, you and you!

I admit, with the existence of micro-blogging websites (eyeing you, Twitter), photo-blogging websites (yep, that's you Instagram) as well as hipster-quote-cool stuff-blogging websites (don't think you can get away from this too, Tumblr), I have been terrible at updating this lovely lovechild of mine. I have no one else to blame but myself on the lack of updates. Sorry.

I have always been a stickler for women empowerment. I am an adamant feminist- meaning, that I have a lot of faith in us women, and that I want to represent the female population in a way that we can still show the rest of the world that we are capable of doing anything while retaining our feminine qualities.

Circa two weeks before, I was graced with information from a fellow classmate about EVE Summit. EVE basically stands for Empowering Venus Everywhere, and it is common information that the venus symbol is a depiction of feminism. Also, the abbreviation is a commemoration to the first female on the face of the earth, Eve (genius, I know right?!).

Basically, what EVE Summit is trying to achieve is to educate, inspire and empower female undergraduates, and they are willing to do it for free! We've got successful female icons in the Malaysia, like Datuk Seri Zeti Akhtar Aziz as well as Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah that in my eyes seem fabulous and flawless and need to be taken an example from. Thus, this makes this particular summit a great platform for you fierce ladies out there to shine brighter than Rihanna's diamonds.

But why would EVE Summit target female undergraduates only? Here's the breakdown. In universities, the number of female undergraduates is almost at par to male undergraduates. And it has been reported that the number of female undergraduates in the workforce are reducing, a contrast to male undergraduates who seem to increase in number every year. Not to belittle the guys or anything, but we girls need to step up and make sure that we are not going extinct! Besides that, there are numerous cases out there where women are belittled, not because of their inefficiencies, but because of what they are- women. They are belittled because of the gender prototypes the society has created. How is that even fair?

So this is where EVE Summit comes in. It is designed to inspire change in workplaces through us undergraduates. I mean, who else is going to generate change if it weren't for us?

This summit features three panel sessions about women development on self esteem, motivation and leadership. Besides that, there would be one luminary session with a partner of Skrine Malaysia and her husband, the executive director of PwC Malaysia.
