Their remarks underscored the importance of empowering women and fostering gender equality.
A touching documentary was screened, shedding light on the achievements and challenges faced by these women. The ceremony also featured a powerful cultural performance, which highlighted the significance of the July uprising and its impact on women's empowerment in the country.
