Congratulations to the ever inspiring CCriadoPerez for her Equality Champion of the Year win at this year's RemarkableWomenAwards:
Accepting the award, she tells: “To misquote George Bernard Shaw, ‘The reasonable Woman adapts HERself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to HERself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable WOman.” So this award, which I am honoured to accept, is surely a mark of my unreasonableness, which will come as no surprise to anyone who knows me.
“But progress is never the work of just one person. Every single step forward that women have achieved has been the work of hundreds, thousands, millions of ordinary women who made the decision not to simply accept the world as it is. “Without the researchers, the development workers, the medics, the engineers, measuring the impact of the gender data gap, my work would not exist.
“Feminism always has been and always will be a movement that relies on the efforts of an army of the unreasonable. I’m proud to be one of their number.”
