Aligning with the theme “Accelerate Action for Gender Equality,” participants carried banners and placards that sparked meaningful conversations on the importance of equal rights and opportunities for women.

The Honourable Chief Minister of Delhi, Smt. Rekha Gupta, graced the event and highlighted the significance of prioritising women's education and well-being. She called women "the backbone of our society" and advocated for a future where gender equality is not just a goal, but a lived reality for all.
