To mark International Women's Day 2021, I want to celebrate the contributions made by all the incredible women in the constituency and thank all those who have contributed so much to our fight against coronavirus.
I know many women across the country have been dealing with the extra burdens that the pandemic has created, whether that's juggling work and childcare, caring for loved ones or doing incredible work in the community.
Nationally women have led the way, from Kate Bingham who heads up the vaccine rollout, to Dr Jenny Harries, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer – these women, along with other community heroes, have become amazing role models for the next generation of women and girls across the country.
So thank you, and Happy International Women's Day.
