Equality and Empowerment

As a mum of a little girl, I’m passionate about equality and empowerment. I want her to grow up knowing she can be whoever she wants to be. Break those glass ceilings. Smash those gender stereotypes. However it’s not only our girls who are at risk of being stereotyped. Our boys are too. “Man up.” “Boys will be boys.” “Boys can’t play with dolls.”

Here’s to a world where children can just be children.
