Why do we need Showgirls?  Isn’t that a bit antiquated? Why do we need women’s groups? Why do we need International Women’s Day? I wish we didn’t.  The fact is that, unfortunately, we do. We need to encourage women to be confident, to be spokespeople for their communities, to educate themselves, to step up as leaders, to not be afraid to step into the spotlight, to achieve and to be recognised.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to celebrate not needing to encourage and support women to be all they can be? Why is it that we need to in the first place? Why is it that we need to do this the world over?
