International Women’s Day: meet 9 goal-kicking women

Each year, 8 March marks International Women’s Day (IWD) — a day to celebrate the many and varied achievements of women. It’s a day centred on respect, appreciation and girl power. Led by a fearless female leader, team Khoollect is made up entirely of women. On IWD 2017, (and every day!) we love to share the talents and skills of the women we’re lucky to meet through our community. Khoollect is full of inspiring people, but here we’ve collated some of the women who’ve inspired us most.
