Hello everyone!

00:00:08,542 --> 00:00:10,958
We are celebrating International Women’s Day

3
00:00:10,958 --> 00:00:14,125
here at Disability Equality and would like you to get involved!

4
00:00:14,333 --> 00:00:19,042
We are asking you to tell us about a disabled woman that you like or admire.

5
00:00:19,292 --> 00:00:23,542
This can be someone you personally know or someone famous, it’s up to you.

00:00:24,208 --> 00:00:31,667
Simply post the name on this post in the comments box below or on twitter and tag us in @disabilityNW

7
00:00:32,125 --> 00:00:36,042
To help you along, here are some ideas from some of our members.

8
00:00:37,083 --> 00:00:39,083
Uh, I'd like to nominate my mum.

9
00:00:39,083 --> 00:00:43,042
An inspirational woman for me is Seema Flower.

10
00:00:43,458 --> 00:00:49,583

00:00:50,167 --> 00:00:52,167
I admire Katy Piper.

12
00:00:53,167 --> 00:00:55,167

This years’ theme is ‘embracing equity’.

28
00:01:36,333 --> 00:01:39,542
Equity means creating a fair and inclusive world.

29
00:01:40,125 --> 00:01:43,333
So when we embrace equity, we embrace fairness,

30
00:01:43,625 --> 00:01:46,583
we embrace diversity and we embrace inclusion.

31
00:01:47,542 --> 00:01:51,000
And remember, on 8th March 'embrace equity'.
