The Voice of Global Feminism  The magic of March includes International Women's Day 2021 and  Mother's Day. On this month's Vocal Revolution Zoomcast (video below - or listen on Apple Podcasts) Raakhi Shah, CEO of The Circle shared how we can support, celebrate and empower the voices of women and girls worldwide Here's some reflections on our conversation - we'd love to hear yours!  1. Circles of Connection This is the power of the circle ... to bring the voices of women to the forefront. - Raakhi Shah When I heard Annie Lennox speak about her charity The Circle at an IWD March 2017, which supports women to form circles which ripple out to community, social, national and global levels, I signed up immediately.  The Circle works on the premise that when women join together, they empower each other. The Circle is made up of overlapping circles- there's a Music Circle, a Healthcare Circle, a Lawyers Circle and Circles for global regions. 2.Global Feminism  It’s about bringing together a collective of women across borders, building those connections and really supporting each other. - Raakhi Shah Global Feminism, the core concept at the centre of the Circle, is based on the understanding that the experiences of women around the globe are diverse and that feminism needs to be supportive and inclusive of women who are excluded or vulnerable. 3.Tea Breaks Down Barriers You can always hear a cackle of laughter between women, no matter what they’re doing. - Raakhi Shah Reflecting on how we can build cross-cultural understanding, Raakhi told the story of the Global Music House, where working with Irise International, young women from Uganda and the UK joined together through the power of music to create a global dance hour that people around the world enjoyed.  Having fun, laughing and drinking tea together is all part of making a difference and building connections. 4. Happy International Women's Day! IWD is such a pivotal global moment for everyone to think about being inspired and recommitting to women’s rights - Raakhi Shah 8 Days of Action - 1st - 8th March Ideas for ways you can get involved: Amplify the women in your #CirclesofChange Celebrate your mum daughter/ granny/ friends/ colleague/ neighbour/ community pioneer/ frontline heroine/ role model. Share and tag The Circle. Virtually march at the Care March for Women on Sunday 7th March Join The Circle's IWD Event with Annie Lennox in conversation with Baroness Lola Young on Monday 8th March. Make a pledge for gender equality This can be as simple as making time for a chat with a good female friend. I pledge to continue donating and raising funds and awareness for The Circle and to continue the work of amplifying women's voices in choirs and coaching. Wishing you a Magical March and empowering, inspiring International Women's Day & Mothers Day   Be well, be safe, breathe deep, sing loudly   Lots of love, virtual hugs and good singing vibes info@therosewindow.org www.therosewindow.org I'll be virtually marching for women over 8 days of activism 1st-8th March on my Social Media - do come and join me!

Bees lapping croci nectar in the honey of the almost Spring sun, A pale orb hanging in the reflective faces of rocky pools. Bare trees twizzling their twisted branches towards heaven Whilst I squelch through winter's muddy residue on earth, Clambering hills to catch breath and gain perspective On this strange, ugly-beautiful urban landscape I inhabit. Here tenacious nature fills whatever pockets she can find With her wild, enchanting songs, humming with a symphony Skyscrapers can only point bluntly towards, puncturing skylines Where birds sail on wings garbed with the promise of Spring.
