Did 2018 materialise as "The Year of Women" as predicted? We've still got a way to go, but this year certainly felt like the tide has been turning 🌊♀️
As the year draws to a close we look back on five moments where we smashed it!
1. Jacinda Ardern gives birth while in office 🇳🇿
We already <3 Jacinda Ardern (check out a post from earlier this year on exactly why) and since she's had Neve Te Aroha, she's been successfully juggling motherhood and politics. It was a world first when she brought her newborn along to the UN General Assembly in New York this September. Little Neve was with her father while Jacinda gave her debut UN speech.
There is so much more to put in here, such as the historic female representation during the Mexican elections, female surfers awarded equal pay in championships, young activist, Emma Gonzalez' powerful viral speech following the Florida shooting, female Nobel Prize winners, Pulitzer prize for public service winners and more. So much to be proud of. What would you add?
Let's keep the momentum going well into 2019 folks! 💪💪💪
