Ireland’s only female Davos delegate Sinéad Burke says social media gave her a voice

Ireland’s only female delegate to attend Davos has praised the internet for giving her a voice.

Sinéad Burke, who was born with achondroplasia — the most common form of dwarfism — is well-known for her activism work in the area of disability, fashion and design.

Last March she gave a TED talk about designing a physically more inclusive world which, to date, has been viewed more than 1.2m times. It was on the back of this that she was asked to speak at Davos and yesterday she took part in a session called Fostering Inclusivity.
