How Does AI Envision a Woman?

AI has become a major topic of discussion in recent years. While it is often seen as a tool for progress, it does not always offer help. Instead, it can reproduce and reinforce misogynistic and sexist ideas, placing women into narrow molds of beauty, occupation, and identity.

However, AI does not create these ideas on its own, it learns them from us. It reflects the beliefs, biases, and expectations that already exist in society about what women should look like and how they should behave.

As a result, AI can reinforce harmful stereotypes and even exploit women’s bodies and images. At the same time, broader systems and media continue to confine women within rigid standards, often overlooking the beauty of individuality and diverse identities.

How women are changing the game? 💗⛷️🏒⛸️

As the Milano 2026 Olympic Games recently ended, we want to highlight some women’s amazing achievements! From athletes such as Alysa Liu to Tabbulah Proulx and many more, they all preserved and did exceptional at the Games. From travelling distances, overcoming challenges and challenging gender or racial stereotypes, they all have made an impact.

These women have taught us that we are capable of achieving our dreams through hard work and dedication 🫶🏽

What does Women’s Day mean to you?

In the early 1900s, it meant fighting for the right to vote, to work, to study, and to have our voices heard.

In 2026, feminism looks different for every woman, in every part of the world. Our experiences, struggles, and victories are not all the same, but the movement evolves because of that very diversity.

However, across all of it, one truth remains: being a woman is something to celebrate, no matter the century.

Happy International Women’s Day 💐💜

Women shouldn’t feel guilty for…

Society has long conditioned women to prioritize everyone else’s needs before their own. When they don’t, they’re often labeled “selfish,” adding pressure to already complex work–life demands. Many women are also made to feel guilty for their personal style, the way they dress, expressing their emotions, or pursuing their dreams.

Women deserve to set boundaries, express themselves authentically, and stand up to misogyny that labels them incompetent or inconsiderate for simply putting their own needs first. 🤍

WEC’s Accomplishment Cake!! 🎂💗

As part of a team bonding experience, WEC came together to recognize the achievements we were proud of from the past year. Celebrating our team’s wins created a space to reflect on our growth and uplift one another.

Accomplishment cakes are a fun (and delicious!) way to celebrate your progress and recognize everything you’ve achieved. They are a sweet reminder to take a moment and celebrate how far you’ve come! 🎉

Love, Intersectionality, and Integrating Black History into Everyday Life

Love is all around us, and lately it has invited deeper reflections through Olivia Dean’s music. Inspired by Bell Hooks 1999 book All About Love, which reminds us that love is not just a feeling but an intentional practice, encourages us to think more critically about how we show up for one another.

When we examine love through the lens of oppressive power dynamics, race, gender, class, and power, we begin to understand intersectionality and its importance in conversations about justice.

Black women continue to be labelled as “angry,” a stereotype that dismisses and ignores their resilience, strength, and humanity.

As we advocate for feminism, we must actively uplift and recognize their presence, contributions, and lived experiences. Critical thinking, questioning, and analyzing are essential for social justice to grow and for our society to evolve.

Advocacy does not end in February. It continues. It deepens. It evolves. ❤️

Globally, around 720 000 people die by su***de each year, and suicidal thoughts can affect anyone. Today, we’re dedicating time to those who have died by su***de, are struggling with suicidal thoughts or have been affected by the loss of someone. We’re also raising awareness of early intervention through open communication in su***de prevention and in reducing its stigma.

There are many reasons why one may consider su***de, and most of them stem from psychosocial factors such as facing psychological pain or stress from systemic inequalities. Marginalized groups face increased exposure to these risk factors—with women being more likely to attempt su***de and those in the LGBTQ+ community being most prone to social isolation.

It can be challenging to support someone you suspect is having thoughts. Listening with compassion, respect, and dignity, while being knowledgeable of the resources to provide help are key.

Check in with those around you 🩶

If in need of helplines:
-CALL OR TEXT 9-8-8 for Canada’s Su***de Crisis Helpline
-CALL 1-833-456-4566 for Talk Su***de Canada
-CALL 9-1-1 if your safety is at immediate risk.
