A YOUTH SPACE.
Rosie is a unique online space where young women and gender diverse people can share their stories and creativity, connect with like-minded people, and discover helpful and inclusive resources to navigate life’s tricky situations.
Rosie is like a trusted friend or an older sibling — a place that you can always turn to in times of need. We’re here to support young women and girls (cis and trans), gender diverse folk, and people with an interest in feminist activism.

So… who’s Rosie?
Good question. We were inspired by the famous Rosie the Riveter image, which represented all the women that went to work in factories during World War II in the USA. Traditionally women were not allowed to work in such roles, if at all. These women paved the way for future generations to enter the workforce in whatever field they chose.
The image of Rosie the Riveter has become a global symbol of feminist empowerment, proving that women can achieve anything they set their minds to. As seen with the Women, Life, Freedom movement, Rosie the Riveter continues to inspire feminist activism today.
