“It was amazing to witness how, during the course, many participants were empowered and began to understand the effects of patriarchy on society, after the course creator, Sabina Santovetti, an expert on matriarchal societies, had told us about the history and present of both matriarchal and patriarchal societies. One participant shared how her eyes had been opened in a completely new way and that she would now actively intervene in everyday discrimination more than before. For me, one of the greatest gifts of the course was that I now feel a whole new respect and love for women and womanhood. It’s something that doesn’t take away from other genders but helps to see the greatness of womanhood in all its forms.”
