Everyone has weaknesses, and flaws.
Boys, girls, men, women, everyone! No one is perfect.

If guys can succeed, so can you.
Just keep trying. , Whether it be a friend, colleague, mother or sister.
Get their views on how their life experiences have been.

Identify the mistakes, and hurdles these women encountered.
This will give you knowledge on how to achieve your goals, and not repeat mistakes.

Whenever there is a hint of injustice call it out.

Whenever you are treated unfairly, question them.
Ask why you were treated, the way you were.
Nothing will change unless the people discriminating are questioned in public.
Stepping up for yourself is the key.
For example, say you are good at sports, better than some of the males there, and the coach chooses a male over you for team selection.
You should question this judgment if you know you are more worthy.
Demand another try out, or seek advice from other coaches. , This will not only open more doors for you, but will also pave a way for other females interested in that field.
Do not step back.
Having experience in various areas will only develop you as a person, and the better you are at something, the more respect you will receive.
You can never get too old to try something new. , The more awareness you spread, the easier it gets to overcome female discrimination on a larger scale.
Advise those younger than you.
