If I could do it, you can do it to.
To every young girl and woman out there, remember you can do anything, just believe in yourself. The theme for Women’s Day 2021 is ‘choose to challenge’. Which says that since we all choose our actions, we can choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality around us. We can all choose to learn and celebrate the achievement of women around us. Together, we can all choose to help create a better world for everyone.
