The event celebrated the spirit of women empowerment in India through a platform that brings together unique stories of the success and achievements of women leaders and social entrepreneurs. Women's Equality Day honours the accomplishments of women's rights activists and serves as a reminder of the particular daily hardships that women go through. This initiative is aimed at celebrating women's qualities of integrity and dedication by providing knowledge transmission to the industry and government officials, who can then use this information to provide support.
“Women need to be skilled. They need to choose education and be literate to never depend on anyone for their needs”, said Kiran Bedi, eminent social activist, addressing the women on Women’s equality Day.
"We shouldn't simply bring up women's equality on commemorative days like Women's Equality Day. The message of women's equality needs to be spread daily to a wider audience. Women always say, 'We can do anything that men can do.' and I strongly believe that. They are always unique and significantly stronger and more capable than men. We must transcend social standards and dispel the myth that women are less valuable than males and make a better equal future. Happy Women’s Equality Day" - Rishabh Malhotra, Vice Chairman, ICCI
