International Women's Day

On March 8th we remember that inequality still exists for us women in many aspects, in many countries. Here is a song about women. Enjoy.

ONE WOMAN

In Kigali, she wakes up, She makes a choice, In Hanoi, Natal, Ramallah. In Tangier, she takes a breath, Lifts up her voice, In Lahore, La Paz, Kampala. Through she’s half a world away, Something in me wants to say - We are One Woman You cry and I hear you. We are one Woman You hurt, and I hurt, too. We are One Woman Your hopes are mine We shall shine. In Juarez she speaks the truth, She reaches out, Then teaches other how to. In Jaipur, she gives her name, She lives without shame, In Manila, Salta, Embu. Though we’re different as can be, We’re connected, she with me - We are One Woman Your courage keeps me strong. We are One Woman You sing, I sing along. We are One Woman Your dreams are mine We shall shine We shall shine - And one man, he hears her voice. And one man, he fights her fight. Day by day, he lets go the old ways, One woman at a time. We are One Woman Your victories lift us all. We are One Woman You rise and I stand tall. We are One Woman Our dreams are mine We shall shine Shine, shine, shine - Official song of UN Women, “One Woman”, lyrics by Beth Blatt, music by Graham Lyle and Clay which was composed for UN Women and performed by Graham Lyle, Clay, Beth Blatt, Gemma Bulos, Tituss Burgess, Tracy McDowell, Country Reed and United Nations International School Choir. And here's another interesting video in which Malala, the girl who survived the talibans, speaks out. http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/study-break/video-zone/malala-yousafzai-winning-nobel-peace-prize
