International Women's Day - the barristers' angle

So this just arrived in my inbox:


I'm not sure what the underlying message is here. Is it: only 92% of our brilliant Bar Council committees are chaired by women, so we need to improve progress for women to get it to 100%? Or: we the Bar Council have stuck women with doing the tedious committee work men shun, so let's progress them off that and onto better things? (Women, as shown in the picture, being the sort of bun-haired characters who luxuriate in foliage - or is she desperately looking up for help escaping a carnivorous plant?) The Bar Council needs to make up its mind whether it is boasting or moaning.
