Mar 8, 2024
祝2024年国际妇女节快乐！今年的主题是#激励包容性#。国际妇女节网站鼓励参与者“想象一个性别平等的世界。一个没有偏见、刻板印象和歧视的世界。一个多元、公平和包容的世界。一个重视并赞美差异的世界。我们共同努力推动女性平等。”
Happy International Women’s Day 2024! This year’s theme is #InspireInclusion. The IWD website encourages participants to “Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality.”
朝着这个目标努力的一部分是庆祝女性的成就——我们喜欢强调那些对冒险充满热情的女性。请查看我们列出的五位女性，她们以乐观的态度和令人印象深刻的成就激励着我们。
Part of working towards this goal is celebrating women’s achievements – and we love highlighting women who have a passion for adventure. Check out our list of five women who inspire us with both their optimistic attitudes and impressive accomplishments.

尤伊·鲍·雷德福取得了多项非凡的成就，包括成为首位访问所有主权国家的亚洲女性和首位访问所有联合国成员国的新加坡人——这一挑战她用了近17年的时间才完成。同样令人印象深刻的是，雷德福的工作重点是语言学。她一生大部分时间都在学习语言，总共会说近二十种语言。
Yui Pow Redford has several phenomenal achievements under her belt, including being awarded the first Asian woman to visit every sovereign country, and the first Singaporean to have visited all United Nation Member states – a challenge that took her nearly 17 years to achieve.

普丽特·昌迪
Preet Chandi
被称为“极地普丽特”的普丽特·昌迪已经超越了自我极限，并取得了令人难以置信的成就。
Known as “Polar Preet” - Preet Chandi has pushed beyond her limits and been recognized for incredible achievements.
普丽特·昌迪在英国长大，19岁时加入陆军后备役，27岁时转为全职陆军。她曾被派往尼泊尔、肯尼亚，并最近在南苏丹进行了为期六个月的联合国维和任务。目前，她在白金汉郡的一个康复中心工作，担任物理治疗师，帮助受伤士兵和军官恢复健康。
Raised in the United Kingdom, Chandi joined the Army Reserves at age 19 and transitioned to the Army full time at age 27. She has been deployed in Nepal, Kenya, and a recent 6-month UN peacekeeping tour in South Sudan. She currently works as a physiotherapist at a rehabilitation unit in Buckinghamshire, aiding the recovery of injured soldiers and officers.
在业余时间，普丽特开始参加半程马拉松，并逐渐挑战更艰难的比赛，直到2019年完成了撒哈拉沙漠马拉松，这是世界上最艰苦的超长距离马拉松之一。
In her free time, Preet began participating in half marathons, working up to harder and harder challenges until she completed the Marathon des Sables in 2019, considered one of the most grueling ultramarathons in the world.
凭借这种耐力与大量的专业训练，昌迪将目光投向了南极洲。为什么呢？
Combining this endurance with an incredible amount of specialized training, Chandi set her sights on Antartica. Why?
“南极洲是地球上最冷、最高、最干燥、风最大的大陆，没有人永久居住在那里，”昌迪在她的博客上写道。“今年早些时候我到达南极点时，我在博客上写道‘我不想只是打破玻璃天花板，我想把它砸成碎片。’我多次被拒绝，被称为固执或叛逆，因为我想做一些不同寻常的事情，并突破自己的极限。我想鼓励其他人也这样做，当你开始这样做时，你的世界会变得开阔。没有界限或障碍，我想继续打破那块玻璃天花板。”
“Antarctica is the coldest, highest, driest and windiest continent on Earth. Nobody lives there permanently," Chandi says on her blog. “When I reached the South Pole earlier this year, I said on my blog post ‘I don’t want to just break the glass ceiling, I want to smash it into a million pieces.’ I was told no on so many occasions, called stubborn or rebellious because I wanted to do things that were out of the norm and push my boundaries. I want to encourage others to push their boundaries, it is amazing how much your world opens up when you start to do so. No boundary or barrier is too small and I want to continue to smash that glass ceiling.”
2023年，她打破了那个“玻璃”，创造了“女性最长单人无支持单程极地滑雪旅程”和“最长单人无支持单程极地滑雪旅程”两项纪录。整个旅程长达700多英里。
In 2023 she smashed that glass, breaking records for both “the longest solo unsupported one-way polar ski journey for a woman and also the longest solo unsupported one-way polar ski journey overall.” The journey was over 700 miles from start to finish.
