From being blamed for the temptation of Adam, Eve and all
her descendants have been feeling the repercussions of that apparent incident
since the beginning of modern times. Women have never been born with a silver
spoon, nor have they had favourable conditions in this “man’s world”. From having their feet bound in ancient China,
to having to endure the senseless genital mutilation which plagues many young
girls today, women have been attacked directly and indirectly continually over
the centuries. Nevertheless, they have constantly prevailed and shown us all,
the true excellence and talent which human beings possess. From Boudicca to
Rosa Parks, women have proved that their resilience and determination are
dually insurmountable and should be rightly honoured. We take this day to admire
these women who form the backbone of society and silently work, hands weary,
and heads tired, striving for a better day.

Although we only have one day to
celebrate such a momentous event, please, let’s not forget that our mothers,
sisters, daughters and wives, are all strong women who never flounder or fail
in the sight of struggle and are always there to pick us up when we fall.
Countless men over the years have sealed their fates in the history books, but
women have been woefully overlooked. So whether the women in your life is the
next Prime Minister, or simply the one who is always there for you, respect her
for the Queen which she is and award her the accolades she deserves, not only
today, but all year round. Happy Women’s Day!
