Activism

Margaret has been a part of Plan International's Youth Activist Series for 2021, and has fought for a series of causes under Plan International's guidance. She has worked heavily on the campaign #EnoughisEnough, aimed at ending misogyny in parliament, where she helped to write the policies.  See video below. 

Margaret was paid to contribute to a new scheme that will be launching in 2023 that assists young women engage in and have access to tennis, from a junior level all the way through to professionally.
