At the International Women's Day event in Downing Street, Prime Minister Boris Johnson took questions from an audience of young women alongside two distinguished guests:
Dame Kelly Holmes is a Double Olympic Champion and holds the British records for the 600, 800 and 1,000 metres. Dame Kelly had a 10-year army career before going on to win four gold medals and has dedicated her life to British sport.
Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE is the co-founder of STEMettes, a social initiative dedicated to inspiring and promoting the next generation of young women in the STEM sectors. Anne-Marie was the youngest girl ever to pass A-level computing at age 11, and was just 20 years old when she received her Master’s Degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Oxford.
The discussion was chaired by Hattie Brett, the editor of Grazia magazine.
