Every achiever spoke on the role and importance of women in society and encouraged fellow women to be leaders and compete in equal strength in all occupations, they should be leaders and not be recognized as women leaders that’s what will change the perception that the world today has about women. IAWA’s motto is to motivate these women by giving them recognition and building confidence and acknowledging their hardships.
Incredible things happen when women support women. Communities rise, glass ceilings are broken, safe spaces are created, and there’s an equitable shift in power dynamics” says Dr. Daljeet Kaur, a multitasker, a renowned actress and the president of IAWA who has organised this event on the completion of 9 glorious years of the NGO
