The conference was very empowering. Thank you to all the members who support it.
I enjoyed meeting women from all over the world who worked in the same sector and faced some similar challenges. After the conference, I had so many ideas that I am now implementing at my centre.
It was so powerful and the presentations were from people who have incredible stories to tell, challenges highlighted well and way forward discussed.
