Rt.Hon Nia Griffith MP

I think the way how she describes on how you have to overcome the
predators, within your own family, within your own community. I
believe very very firmly, we have a duty to take away barriers in the
society that stops winning or achieving. Many, if you come from the
society where is a huge enterprising sprit and we know Tamil
communities out perform in terms of business setups, business
opportunities in the UK and a huge range of talent in that community
for beyond its numbers. It is encouraging to see even the arm force,
now women are taking a much more prominent role and I think it’s
all up to all of us try to push out and try to move in different areas of
life.
Dr. Geetha Venkat
Owner and director of Harley Street Fertility Clinic
In a small place called Eastbourne I started my carrier as a register
in gynaecology. We worked 60 hours without any break and I had
a little boy to take care, on top of it I have to study for the
membership examination. If I sit and think of those days, I don’t
know how I did it and I don’t think I can do it again. When everyone
said if I work in the organisation, probably I have to retire in the same
place. But I wanted to do more to make use of my abilities and
prove to myself what I am capable of. So, then I started my own
clinic with 3 staff in a basement which had 3 rooms. I came from an
ordinary middle class family and I had this aspiration and I had fixed
the stage. So, I can say that any women who’s from an ordinary
family if she wants to do something, if she has the aspiration, she
can defiantly do that.
