International Women's Day 2024: Paralympians have their say
What do women want on International Women's Day?
Chui Yee Yu (Hong Kong, China, wheelchair fencing): Today is International Women’s Day and I think today is very important because it is a special day for us to celebrate and recognise the contributions of women, especially in Para sport.
Kgothatso Montjane (South Africa, wheelchair tennis): What I think women want is the visibility because we are as capable as men. We just want to be showed off, we just want to be talked about for who we are because I feel like we have as much ability as men. We just want that visibility to be able to be recognised.
Alejandra Aybar (Dominican Republic, Para swimming): On International Women’s Day, I think women need more equality in everything: sports, work and life.
Stefanie Reid (Great Britain, Para athletics): What I think women want for this day is action. I’m not interested in a social media post or a press release. What I want to know from a company is how many women are in management. What are you paying them? What is your policy when it comes to maternity or flexible leave? What I want is real change and real equality, and real in the sense that I can see it on a plain sheet of paper and numbers.
