On March 8th, International Women's Day, we celebrate women's remarkable achievements, resilience, and contributions worldwide. It's a day to honor their strength, courage, and unwavering determination in breaking barriers and shaping a more equitable society. From pioneers in science, literature, theology, politics, and beyond to the unsung heroes in our communities, women have played pivotal roles in driving progress and inspiring positive change. Let us recognize and amplify their voices, advocate for them, and continue working together towards a future where every woman and girl can be safe, thrive, and be empowered to fulfill their dreams and aspirations. Happy International Women's Day!

=================
With threads of golden light, your spirits flare,
Each woman shines, a steadfast astral pyre,
Your valiant souls defy the tethered snare,
Like distant suns that pierce the boundless mire.
With hearts unyielding, you shatter iron grates,
Unshackled wings where shadows once confined,
And in your touch, love's caresses gentle graces,
A serenade of voices, softly intertwined.
Through time's grand halls, your histories reside,
Your footprints pressed on ever-shifting sands,
With every verse, a truth you cannot hide,
You mend the world with steady, guiding hands.
O women, graced with beauty, fierce and bold,
In every realm, your being we cherish and behold.
