You can’t say “Happy International Women’s Day” until you acknowledge that it isn’t happy to have to protect yourself from the police.
The idea of women’s inferiority has been propagated for far too long and feminism isn’t a cry of superiority but a call to be considered as a soul not an object. This day is a challenge for me and all of us to ensure that the future looks different to the present and the past. Grateful for Jesus who saw women exactly as they were and honoured them entirely.
