00:26I really love what myself and the Girl Guiding team have put together.
00:29We've created a new contemporary version of George and the Dragon.
00:37It's been incredible to launch Georgina and the Dragon today on International Women's Day.
00:43Georgina is on a BMX bike and underneath her she's got a dragon with loads of stereotypes that women still
00:50face in today's society on
00:51and she's battling them down with her rounders back.
00:53She also has a rucksack with a load of our Girl Guiding badges on which will echo what our girls
00:59can do.
01:05It shows that women can do great things as well as men and that it's equal.
01:15Research that we have done has shown that there are still gender stereotypes such as girls that are being more
01:21emotional than boys
01:23and that girls should be doing household chores.
01:26This statue is so important because it shows girls overcoming these stereotypes and defeating them.
