"On this day we honor the strength and grace Of women who have fought to find their place In a world that often seeks to hold them back We stand together, never to backtrack We need our allies, the men who understand That equality for all is what we demand No more empty promises, no more empty praise We need real change in so many ways The day we don't need a women's day Is the day we'll be truly on our way But until then, we'll keep fighting strong For equality and rights, where we belong Let us all work towards a better space Where leadership reflects the human race Fix the system, not the women, not the men Let's build a world where all can thrive, and then Our daughters and their daughters too May live in a world where dreams come true With equality and respect as the norm On this women's day, let's stand and reform." (Claire Vanneste, Steerco Women in Leadership Club) 🙏 Thank you all the Steerco members of the Vlerick Alumni Women in Leadership Club for dedicating your time and efforts to our initiative!
