Dear <<First Name>>🌹 🎶Celebrating the Power of Women's* Voices - #IWD2023 🎶🌹* People who identify as women“I am a woman. I do not like war. However, I would rather die than accept your deal,” declared Ethiopian Empress Taytu Betal before leading a massive victory against Italian colonisers in 1896. Some centuries before, in what is now Angola, we hear the voice of Queen Nzinga, (1583-1663) roaring
"you will never be crowned if you always back down." Famous for dressing as a man and having a harem of male concubines dressed as women, she defended her realm against the Portuguese for decades, leading battles in her 60s.
I am continually inspired by the women who, throughout global herstory, have overcome enormous challenges to raise their voices and make waves in the world. Wherever there is oppression, there are woman campaigning for freedom, like the brave trio who launched #BlackLivesMatter. Wherever there is censorship, there are women roaring, like our brave Iranian sisters. Even when they have to go underground, like our friends in Afghanistan, there are women finding a way to support and liberate each other.
Every victory for women is a victory for all of usand a victory for a better world and a better future.
