Hazel Chu

Irish Green Party Politician & Former Lord Mayor of Dublin

In an age of division and hate we must champion more women, especially those from minority backgrounds and make sure that our next generation can see it to be it.

There is no room for fear and hatred and no stopping us from making our society more equal. It is essential to have the resilience to know you will get over challenges and tomorrow will come. To those who say you can’t be or do something because you are not good enough, not the right gender, not the right ethnicity, not the right age or don’t come from the right social background, don’t listen to them. You are always good enough just by being you and no else.
