Happy International Women’s Day!

Today we celebrate all of the victories won for and by women – but it’s also a day to organise for a better future, as there is much work still to be done. Whether you’re spending the day attending one of the many events or rallies around your area, hanging out with friends or simply by yourself, here’s a soundtrack for whatever you have planned. These are songs to uplift, to help you resist, songs of solidarity and songs for self care. So, take some time out for yourself and soak up this mix, because crushing the patriarchy is a full time job!
