THE QUOTN MANIFESTO

An app like QUOTN shouldn't exist. But neither should the patriarchal society as we still face it today. Albeit a lot has been achieved over the last decades in women’s rights and the LGBQTI movement, we recently had to face a few ugly setbacks, that made clear, that we are not as far as we have hoped in terms of gender equality. So here we are!

The future isn’t female! It is tempting to say that the future is female, when all we want to do is get rid of toxic masculinity and men holding control of the majority of power structures. A shift to the “opposite” sounds inviting, yet it probably doesn't provide the final solution. QUOTN thinks beyond gender and hopes the future will be non binary or gender less, or at least more “gender creative”. So on our journey of getting rid of the “cis-tem" and as a platform and network, we are outspokenly inclusive of ALL trans, non binary, femme or woman* identified personas.

Glass ceiling, corporate feminism doesn't help all women! QUOTN is aware of the danger of this project becoming the glass ceiling, corporate, white feminist project it could easily turn into, due to the topic it is dealing with. It is important for QUOTN to actively work against this as much as possible! Once our community has become big and strong enough, we will make sure to support the less privileged. But in order to do so we, need to focus on ourselves first. It’s a little bit like being on an airplane: Help yourself first, then help others! It is a goal for QUOTN to be able to conduct surveys, hold workshops and raise money for teaching less privileged girls* and educating boys* about gender equality. Having said that, being aware of our social responsibilities already, we deeply care about the women*, working in the women* run businesses featured on our platform. So in the future we want to give them the chance rate and publish their experience about working in those companies. With that we aspire to create a future of fairer working conditions and more transparency for everyone!

Make yourself visible! It is important to QUOTN to again point out, that for sure, this project is for the already privileged. It features women in more or less empowered positions, wanting to become even more powerful. Having said that, their importance to function as role models and their contribution to a normalisation of showing women* in professionally powerful positions, is not to be underestimated. So visibility is one of our main focuses for now.
