The Pursuit team thought they’d take some time out to celebrate what’s great about being a woman (and some of these are tongue in cheek) on the 100th anniversary of  International Women’s Day.

• The ability to bring life into the world
• The sheer variety of clothes we have to choose from
• Reading the manual isn’t something we’re ashamed to do
• Neither is asking for directions when we’re lost
• We’re happy to admit when we’ve made a mistake and learn from the experience
• Handbags & shoes – no more needs to be said
• Chocolate and red wine can solve (most of) our problems
• Being able to inspire other women with our stories without the need to beat our chests
• We’re able to appreciate what’s going on in politics as much as what’s going on in Brothers and Sisters
• Being able to share our problems and communicate with each other
• Chick-flicks and chick-lit books
• We look good when we dance…. most of the time!

On a serious note now, Each day millions of women around the world struggle to make ends meet. Nowhere is this situation more acute than in those countries recovering from conflict.
