About the Poem
“Rising Beyond” is a poetic affirmation of the power and potential of adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). It honors their dreams, resilience, and transformative role in shaping a more just, inclusive society.
Rising Beyond
In the tapestry of empowerment, we weave our tale,
AGYW standing tall, their resilience never frail,
From adversity to triumph, their journey unfolds,
Rising beyond, their stories untold.
In the face of barriers, they break free,
Empowerment their anthem, their destiny to see,
For every dream they dare to chase,
AGYW empowerment, a sacred space.
From education to leadership, and every dream they hold dear,
AGYW rise, without hesitation or fear,
For in their strength lies the power to thrive,
Rising beyond, where dreams come alive.
So let us celebrate their courage and grace,
AGYW empowerment, a beacon to embrace,
In their journey of hope, let us stand tall,
Rising beyond, where dreams enthrall.
