Destiny will be up 6th on the Eurovision stage tonight as she tries to woo European (and Australian) audiences to vote for her.
The transmission from the Netherlands starts at 9pm and will see 26 acts performing on stage until the nail-biting voting finale from Europe’s capitals.
It will provide ample time for eating, drinking, sharing jokes and memes, admiring the singers and the songs, or taking the micky out of the kitsch fest.
On March 8, marking this year’s International Women’s Day, BOV staff shed off their work attire, reported to work wearing purple for justice and dignity and chose to commit to an inclusive world.
Staff working remotely during the pandemic virtually joined their colleagues at branches and units and together they raised their hands committing to challenge gender bias and inequality, to call out any type of abuse on women and to celebrate women’s achievements - not just on Women’s Day but every day of the year. Furthermore, staff members collected funds towards helping vulnerable women living in shelters due to domestic violence, homelessness and other difficulties such as addiction, mental health, relationship and familial issues.
