Young people, of whatever time and generation, feel invincible. That's important for necessary change - Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka

It is important that women celebrate themselves but also that they don't only preach to the converted and go out there and win more allies for our struggle.

Well, it was women in the labour movement in the 1900s that gave us this day. They were calling for bread; they were calling for better working conditions and they were calling for peace. Guess what? We are calling for the same things today, in different ways. We are rededicating ourselves to the struggles of today. Today, for instance, we are calling for decent work because women continue to be at the bottom of the pyramid of economic activity and the work and the jobs that they do continue to be informal and to be low paid.

This is where you can see that it is really necessary to open up and allow young people to play the role they want to play in providing leadership and solutions in society.
