Feminist resistance
A protest song, a battle call, chanted by our mothers, our grandmothers, our sisters and our allies, shouted in the streets, plastered on the walls, murmured in private, touching us to the core. Words welded in our diversity, fuelled by our outrage, spurred by our sisterhood. Now is not a time for division, negotiation or silence.

Our oath is manifest. Love is an act of resistance.
