International Women’s Day - 20 Year Olds’ Perspective

On International Women’s Day we asked three women in their 20s for their perspectives of what being a woman in 2026 is like.

I love being a woman in 2026. I have grown up surrounded by conversations about equality, confidence, and opportunity my whole life. My parents and teachers always encouraged me to believe I could pursue any career and challenge any outdated expectations that come my way.

In 2026, I feel fortunate to live in a time where more opportunities are becoming increasingly available to me and other women. Female role models are more visible than ever, representing women in business, sport, global politics, and more.
