Breaking down barriers - Hockey gold medal winner Shona McCallin presents an International Women's Day special

For today GB Hockey player and gold medal winner Shona McCallin presents....and she's invited along her squad colleague Emily Defroand.

Shona chose Emily because she's unique because of all the work she does off the pitch.

Emily supports the Fliers project which gives hockey opportunities for those who have a disability. She also helps Spencer Lynx Hockey which helps young people in disadvantaged parts of East London have access to hockey, breaking down the barriers to playing.

When it comes to equality - both Shona and Emily feel IWD is important to highly the issues facing girls and women...making sure there's equality of opportunities and visible media coverage.
