More than ever, women’s voices need to be heard

Today, the role of independent media has never been more vital.

This week, we watched the world change in a way that has left many women feeling shocked and confused. Many of us are fearful of what’s to come. Across an ocean, a new president was elected, but the waves of this decision have reached us right here in Australia. When America takes a step, the world feels its impact, and for many of us—especially women—it feels like an unsettling, backward step.

At an uncertain time, more than ever, we need to ensure that women’s experiences and perspectives don’t just fade into the background. Today, the role of independent media has never been more vital. Now is the time to ensure that our stories are told, our voices are not just heard but amplified, and we need to make sure our issues don’t disappear from the conversation.

At Mamamia, this is our core purpose - our only purpose: to make the world better for women and girls. Our team of female writers, podcasters and content creators are committed to covering the stories that matter to women, to standing with you, and to helping you make sense of this world we’re navigating together. We’re rolling up our sleeves to ensure that our coverage is sharper, our support for women’s voices is stronger, and our pledge to you is unwavering.

If you believe, as we do, in the power of independent women’s media, there’s something you can do to help us. For less than a cup of coffee each week, you can support our mission to keep women’s voices at the heart of the conversation. We understand that times are tough, and we know that every dollar counts right now. If subscribing isn’t possible for you at the moment, we appreciate you being here, reading, sharing, and being part of our community. Every subscription strengthens our ability to deliver the content you rely on and amplifies our reach and our impact. If you’re already a Mamamia subscriber, thank you. Your support makes what we do possible.
