Things have changed. When I first joined the FA’s SMT the women were definitely in the minority and now we make up more than half. But I don’t want you to think this is a numbers game for me – when we set about trying to make the FA more diverse in the broadest sense it was always about creating a more modern organisation, better representing society and the game we serve and knowing that in doing this we will simply be better at what we do.
International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the achievements of women, while focusing on the continued fight for gender equality. Personally this translates into me being lucky enough to have more opportunities and support than my mum did while hoping that my daughter grows up with the confidence and support to know that she has the same chances and no more hurdles in life than her brother.
