    The Struggle for Women’s Emancipation Will Always Be Worth It

    8 March was not always International Women’s Day, nor has there always been any such day at all.

    Tyrants don’t like people who speak truth to power. Cue the rise of protest laws, which take the government’s intolerance for free speech to a whole new level and send the resounding message that resistance is futile.
