My hope on International Women's Day

Megan Tucker, Plan’s Disability Advisor, gives a personal insight into what International Women’s Day means to her. 

This week my three year old daughter told me that she wanted to be both a house painter and a vet to sick puppies when she grows up. Other weeks she wants to be a ballerina or a soccer player. Living in Australia with the opportunities that this affords, in all likelihood she has the opportunity to be any of these and more.

Today is International Women's Day. Today many mothers like me around the world are contemplating what the future holds for their daughters. What will our daughters be when they grow up? For many mothers and daughters in developing countries realising their aspirations will mean facing many challenges.
