I wished my six-year-old
daughter a Happy International Women’s Day before she slept, and she asked me
from her bed if that meant it was a day for her.
And I said yes.
Of course yes.
And she asked me if we
should have a party. She likes a good party.
She also likes spinning out
bedtime.
But it got me thinking,
International Women’s Day is a day for celebration of women’s achievements, of
all our successes, but also all the sacrifices women have made so that we can
enjoy the lives we lead now.
It can also be a marker in
the sand to see how far we have come since the last IWD.
Looking back over the last
12 months, it has been a complete shit storm of abuses of power, cover-ups and
collusions.
From Harvey Weinstein to
Kevin Spacey to Max Stafford-Clark, women have, for decades, been compromised
and abused in the pursuit of their careers by men in power.
The #metoo campaign gave
people a voice to come forward and out men who have got away with this for far
too long. And women did come forward. In their hundreds, thousands, to share
their stories and gather strength from one another.
But where do we go from
here?
How do we continue to strive
forward, to gain momentum, to feel like things are getting better, becoming
fairer, more transparent?
It’s starting to happen. Women are
forcing things to happen.
A group of women have taken
the power back when a majority female investor group bought the Harvey Weinstein
company. Weinstein won’t receive any of the $500 million sale of company
assets, and despite taking on about $225m worth of debt, the women are
setting up a $90 million victims' compensation fund.
Incredible.
Another group
of women are campaigning to buy the Theatre
Royal Haymarket theatre
with the aim of making it a venue that showcases female-led work, making it a
supportive space for women to create work.
Because there is nothing
stronger, more terrifying, more powerful, than a fucking incredible group of
women who look after each other, who listen, who protect, who nurture each
other.
Who celebrate each other’s
achievements, and support each other through the shit times.
The women who have gone
before us have fought for our places in the world now.
We owe it to them and our
daughters and granddaughters to finish this.
To not turn a blind eye, to
not accept that things are so because it is ‘just how it’s always been.’
Let’s support each other and
know that our voices are louder when they are in chorus.
So deep breath.
Put your best fighting
foot forward…
And Happy International Women’s
Day brilliant women.
Thank you for being in my
life.
