RESILIENCE

Resolute and determined, women have always played an
Essential role in maintaining the fiber of a family unit.
Sisters, aunts, nieces, mothers, and daughters
It is they who are being suppressed by male dominance.
Look throughout history, and you'll find courageous women
Imbued with perseverance and the strength of their convictions.
Educated, today's women are empowered, demanding equality,
Not as an appeasement, but as an inalienable right.
Challenging the traditional role of a subservient woman
Emancipated women fight for the right to be women, not servants.

Equality for women... that's something we never should have had to demand, but the hammers we used to break that glass ceiling remain in our hands if needed again. Thank you for acknowledging the power of women, Emile.
