Tomorrow is International Women’s Day.
Today, at a special assembly, we heard from United States Chargé d’Affaires Susan Stevenson and ISY Student Service Group, Hnin Si who concluded the assembly with the following words:
This year’s theme is Accelerate Action—a call for us to push for progress, not just in words, but in real, tangible change. International Women’s Day isn’t only a day out of the year—we should be celebrating it every day. So, let’s all try to be a little more mindful of what we say and consume. Let’s remember that equality is not about saying one is better than the other—it’s about everybody having the same value. And let’s not forget to appreciate the women around us.
