The event was attended by women from different backgrounds, including business owners, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and professionals. The evening kicked off with a warm welcome from the representatives of MAC and GOPIO, who emphasised the importance of gender equality and the need to embrace diversity in all aspects of life.
The event featured several activities, including a panel discussion with inspiring women speakers who shared their personal and professional journeys, the challenges they faced, and the strategies they used to overcome them. We thank our inspiring speakers AlO Enlightened Women founder Lubna ALAM, president of the ACT Law Society Farzana Choudhry, ACT Women of the Year Betty Maracha, and Minister Rebecca Vassaroti for their powerful message. Powerful talks by the speakers are incredibly impactful and inspiring that create a positive change in the CALD community. We appreciate David Smith MP, MAC Patron MLA Peter Cain – Liberal for Ginninderra, and Deepak Raj Gupta Senior Advisor to Chief Minister for their encouraging message on women empowerment.
MAC and GOPIO acknowledged the contribution of community leaders and unsung heroes and presented certificates of appreciation to Chin Wong, Amardeep Singh Ravi Krish MAC treasurer Kranti Amar and our quiet achiever Rashmi Malik for their valuable contributions to community service. We thank our MC Aradhna Rastogi, our photographer Udaya and Jewel of India for their help and support.
In conclusion, the belated Women’s Day event at Jewel of India, Manuka, was a fantastic celebration of women’s achievements and a reminder of the importance of gender equality.
