It also instilled a sense of feminism and gender equality in me from a young age, teaching me that being born a girl should not hinder me, that I could aspire to do anything I wanted to and was just as capable as my male friends and relatives – an invaluable message for today of all days. I really think it influenced my interest in women’s history (which, when I think about it, comes from way before university to school when I would always find the opportunity to discuss the female role in everything we were learning about). I was a Rainbow, a Brownie, a Guide, a Young Leader and am now an Assistant Guider and cannot imagine having not being part of Girlguiding. Present in 146 countries worldwide, reaching ten million girls and young women, it is an incredibly dynamic movement and one which is close to my heart, as I have been a member since I was five years old.
Today is International Women’s Day and I thought this was a perfect chance to talk about one of the biggest women’s movements across the world – Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
