Residents of North Somerset on International Women’s Day I invite you to listen to song for Nazanin, which explores in a powerfully touching way the dignity and strength that women often have to find in the face of injustices.

It is a song that takes as its central theme Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, but it also reminds us, on this day of great importance for women, of the struggles of women across the world.

This global pandemic has hit women hard, so let’s go forward in kindness with a quiet determination to support each other even when views and opinions may differ.

Together we can achieve great things.
