International Women’s Day is celebrated every year on March 8th, and is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, whilst also calling for gender equality.
Every year we mark International Women’s Day at Harbour by celebrating our female clients, leaders, colleagues, volunteers, friends and partners.
This year, Helen, our EVA (Empowered, Valued, Able) team lead wrote a wonderful poem called Break the Bias. It calls for an equal world free of bias, stigma and discrimination, whilst looking towards a hopeful future for all.
Listen to Helen, Mel and Kate from our EVA team perform Break the Bias on International Women’s Day below.
Tell me what you see in me
Do you see the bias of history
Can you smell the scent of inequality
Do you see the lack of opportunity
That tells of the differences between you and me
Do you see?
Tell me what you see in me
Do you see my fate in society
Do you see our freedom is not free
Do you see the great illusion
Do you see an invisible strategy
For you, for me
Do you see?
Tell me, what do you see in me
Breaking the bias, breaking free
Breaking out, both you and me
If you could see all this and more
What could the future have in store
Do you see?
Do you see all of this in me?
