Al Sadiq Islamic English School's Inspirational Assembly
On the 31st of October 2023, YR 11G1 hosted an assembly focused on enlightening students about gender equality. Commencing with a powerful quote, the assembly boldly stated, “Gender equality is not a women’s issue, it’s a human issue.” The event aimed to not only educate but also inspire students to think critically about the importance of fostering equality between genders.
This was followed by Qura’an and hadith recitation and an enjoyable quiz, inviting students from various classes to join the excitement on stage. Their challenge was to correctly pair the logos of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with their corresponding titles. After that, speeches advocating gender equality were delivered, serving as impactful platforms to spread awareness and educate students on this crucial issue. The assembly reached its conclusion amidst resounding applause and heartfelt appreciation extended to all the participants for their valuable contributions.
They had concluded their assembly with a beautiful and powerful poem, written by one of their very own students, Setayesh Zarbaksh:
“Breaking Barriers: Paving the Way to Equality”
In a world where hearts beat strong and free,
We strive for gender equality's decree.
For women and men, side by side,
In this journey of life, together we'll stride.
In classrooms, offices, on fields of play,
Talents flourish in the light of day.
With open hearts and minds set free,
Equality is our guide, as it should be.
No more division, no more divide,
Together, we'll reach for the limitless sky.
For women and men, side by side,
In this journey of life, together we'll stride.
