International Women's Day

Updated: Oct 23, 2022

This years theme is #BreakTheBias, a global call for us all to tackle discrimination and celebrate our differences and forge an equal future.


Here we celebrate the women in Ireland that inspire us and are paving the way in Sport, Business, Fashion and Music.


KELLIE HARRINGTON

"I'm not afraid of failure, I'm not afraid of losing. So I suppose once you're not afraid of that, then anything is possible."

The fantastic Kellie Harrington made history in 2020 by becoming only the third Irish boxer to win an Olympic gold medal. She continues to work hard at inspiring young girls and boys to join local boxing clubs especially in her home county of Dublin. Kellie's win came at a time when the country needed a lift during the pandemic.
