The freedom to use your voice, move your body, and share your skills, should be a freedom we all enjoy. Such an uplifting end to the #IW2025 week! Hosting @BeyondSkinโs Afghan women solidarity concerts at the Ulster Orchestra HQ, with @niamh_journo and @alghochak chair Fatima Sarwari, was a joy. I was inspired by the performers, and found the song, and dance in particular, so moving. None of us are free until we are all free. #IWD2025
