GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE TO FILL IN THE FORM

The MADISON HEART OF NEW YORK #POUT50000 campaign is a call to women who are ambitious, fearless & have a hunger to change their world and communities around them. These like-minded women have a desire to reach their full potential and in so doing, create a wave of change within themselves, communities and South Africa.

Conceptualised by POUT MOVEMENT (a self-empowerment organisation for women) and POUT Magazine, the aim to have a total of 50 000 POUT MEMBERS, who will utilise their skills and talents for the aim of economic development. The aim is for POUT MEMBERS to pool together their skills, talents and resources for the aim of economic empowerment.

The MADISON HEART OF NEW YORK #POUT50000 campaign is inspired by the 20 000 women who marched to the Union Buildings in 1956 to protest against the pass laws of that time, and their right to freedom of movement. Looking back at what they achieved, they laid the foundation for us to continue fighting for our freedom of movement, and our freedom to realise our fullest potential. With the Coronavirus, we are reminded that this freedom should not be taken lightly. It is now even more pressing to forge a future that South African women can thrive in.

The potential POUT MEMBERS who want to join this campaign should be ambitious, driven, enterprising, big dreamers, optimistic, be able to operate within a collective and have a burning desire to be part of creating change. Whether you are unemployed, a student, in corporate or an entrepreneur or just want to support the cause of women empowerment by showing your solidarity WE WANT YOU TO JOIN!

I more than anything love the fact that POUT MOVEMENT is really empowering women. I love that it not only focuses on the business side of life but also our well being, because you can’t run a successful business if you’re still lacking in self love. This is a first in Africa and I see it going very far. I’m glad I’m part of something this big that also makes me belong.

Women and women-empowerment organisations can be part of the campaign by

choosing the following:

1) Become a POUT MEMBER by registering on this website. The form is at the bottom of this page. Benefits of being a POUT MEMBER are below.

2) Send your HEART STORIES to info@poutmovement.com

These stories should be inspirational in nature. We are looking for women who have started something to empower themselves or their communities, women who have overcome tragic circumstances and women who have achieved something against all odds #HeartStories

Before joining POUT MOVEMENT I needed to find my purpose. I needed to feel that I belong somewhere, I needed to make a difference, to make a change and when I joined a few years back my life changed. POUT MOVEMENT changed my life. It was the first place that I could be completely free, open and most of all transparent. Women working together to empower each other in beautiful ways as well as working to make a difference in our communities is truly the best gift.
