Women’s Empowerment Group: AMAZE
The name came when I thought about a woman friend I had and
I thought about all the amazing things she could do, as well as her ability to
maintain peace among many different groups of people.
And I thought how amazing it is to find women like her in
the world. And then I thought how wonderful it would be to provide young women
role models like her; young women who can see strength, who can see women
accomplishing amazing goals.
Sisters Across the Nation (SAN) is the name that a group of
women created as a sub-group to address sisterhood among women.
The Objective:
Both AMAZE and SAN have the objective to unite women in an
endeavor to define values, goals, and meaning based on non-sexual
relationships. This means that women are teaching women how to interact in ways
other than through sexuality, to greet people on the basis of merit and
respect, rather than coyness and seduction.
The Values:
Self Reliance
Self Love
Women’s Voices
AMAZE and SAN are part of an organization of women that are
not based on race, class, or religion, but based instead on gender. It is a group solely
relevant to women and to their actions toward others in response to life’s
difficulties.
