Today, we celebrate International Women’s Day, its an important day when women’s voices are are the forefront and we celebrate how far we have come, and how far we have to go. Its only just over a hundred years ago that women in the UK were allowed to vote and we have now had two female PMs but there are still jobs that no woman has ever had. Chancellor of the Exchequer? To keep moving forward, we need women to keep being pioneers and we need our male allies. In this lovely poem, one of our allies writes of how equality will benefit us all. Thanks Kosta for celebrating our achievements and walking with us on the road ahead.

This day comes once in a year
To celebrate WOMEN that we love, respect
And hold to our heart so dear
They can do everything
Remember, a queen gave birth to every king
Through history they were told
They can’t work, they can’t vote
Nonetheless they never lost hope
They become politicians
Some of them presidents
They are so capable
There’s so much evidence
It’s time for each man to be a rebel
Make sure women get treated equally
In every level
For then together, we can do much better
Collectively, we can, with no resistance
Thanks to women all over the world for your existence.
