International Women’s Day is all about celebrating women’s achievements - but it’s also about looking ahead and asking how we can better support the next generation.  

Across Ireland, young girls are growing up in a world shaped by social media, comparison culture, academic pressure and changing expectations. So how do we help them build confidence, resilience and real self-belief?  

Joining Valerie is Cassie Delaney, Head of Community at The Shona Project - a charity dedicated to educating, empowering and inspiring girls to become strong, confident and resilient.
