Watch: Hafsahâs poem, The Flag I Fly For You Manchester International Festival (MIF) commissioned Hafsah Aneela Bashir to write and record a poem in response to Article 25 – the right to food, shelter, healthcare, social services and security. Hafsah’s poem, The Flag I Fly For You , premiered at an online poetry reading on Wednesday 9 December with Manchester’s 24-hour Islamic Radio Station, Heritage Radio, and was launched on World Human Rights Day (10 December 2020) as a video recording alongside 33 commissioned poems by artists across the UK. Hafsah Aneela Bashir said: It’s important for me to be involved in Fly The Flag because I passionately believe in an individual’s right to be seen, heard and valued fully. To feel safe, free from fear and to live with dignity.
