International Women's Day is a time for putting even greater emphasis on championing the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women around the globe.
To mark the occasion, Mirror Sport sat down with one of the greatest track and field athletes of all time, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, to discuss what it means to her. “International Women’s Day is a day where women get to use our voice and talk about different things that impact us and create a pathway for the future,” she began.
“For me it’s wonderful as women we get this day to speak and speak loud, so everyone can hear us. I am looking forward to doing more to change the narrative about who we are as women. It’s not just about the medals that we win but it's about what we do off the track.
