I have been influenced by a quote from Dr. James Kwagyir Aggrey who said that if you educate a woman, you educate a nation. This postulates that women are the nation builders. It means women have the in built drive to excel. Unfortunately women have been seen to be weak and this has made us second guess ourselves even when we put on equal footing with our male counterparts. I believe thata continuous sensitisation would instill in us the drive to excel as women lawyers.
