PEACEFUL FIGHTER

You may be content
but seek much more
a voice to be heard
a choice and a body
to be respected.
Because you are a visionary
a lover and peaceful fighter
for gender equality
and women’s rights.
You are a sensitive,
powerful Woman
tired of oppression
domestic violence
and genocide.
Let’s stand together
and push for change
honour our sisters
praise our gender
and be the role models
this generation desperately craves.
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY.
