Mission
We Hate Pink is the brainchild of Rossella Forlè.
We Hate Pink is a community built to rethink the role of women and non-binary people in society from a feminist perspective.
Goals
Create a reality where women progress further personally and professionally
Redefine success for women by providing the tools and connections they need to ‘own’ their futures
Direct actions using the power we already have to disrupt systems of oppression, instead of asking those in charge to change.
I'm Rossella Forlè. I'm Italian, and I have been in London for nine years now.
I’m a Feminist.
I'm a Feminist for many reasons: personal experiences, beliefs and the passion to help create a positive and healthy environment for the future.
By working in corporations, I realised that gender inequalities are still there, and it's tough for women to progress.
Most of the time I wasn't fully aware of what I needed to progress in my career and I decided to create my own platform.
We Hate Pink was born out of fire, frustration and passion.
Frustration that I didn’t see an adequate representation of women anywhere, frustration that the feminist perspective still isn’t universal but yet is being commodified.
We Hate Pink is fuelled by the passion for powerful stories about the complexity of the human condition; passion for the creative force that runs through our lives; passion for media with purpose, intention and humour; and a passion for creating a future in which I’d like to live.
I am Viviana, and I'm Italian. I moved to Prague a few years ago.
For most of my life, I've been the excessive, eccentric, annoying one—part of personal inclination and part of education.
I found a place in the world of communication and creativity, at first glance, open-minded. I got a ticket to the roller coaster of innovation, yet I found many old stereotypes there. Searching for my place, I still need to find a comfortable one.
"It costs a lot to be authentic, ma'am, and one can't be stingy with these things," Almodovar said via Agrado, and at some point in my life, I realized how true that was.
Until we start from a common base, until everyone's dignity is equally recognized, being yourself will continue to come at a cost that, for some people too high.
So, while healing my wounds, I met the definition of Intersectional Feminism. I felt it on me like a tailor-made dress.
And now, it is time to go further and participate in this movement. With respect due to those who were there before me and allowed me to be excessive, eccentric and annoying. With the desire to leave an additional space of freedom, respect and opportunities for those who will come after.
