Each year, International Women’s Day gives us an opportunity to consider how far we’ve come, pay homage to our suffragette ancestors and grieve for those who continue to be gripped by oppression.
I am reminded of how lucky we are to live in a country that allows women to vote, play professional sport, marry whomever they choose and have an education but it’s almost unbearable to think that these things are branded luxuries elsewhere.
I am also grateful for people like my mother who raised me to be strong and men like my father, brothers, partner, and beloved friend Craig Foster who have always advocated for raising women up in all walks of life.
