Sisterhood, Stories and Celebrations. If one were asked to encapsulate Kanya Girl Child Welfare Organisation’s event in celebration of International Women’s Day in three words, this is how one would describe it. However, the stories of the strong women who appeared as the Guest Speakers weren’t always so smooth. The journey was rocky and unpredictable, and even though their backgrounds were all different, one factor remained common: these women and their stories looked to a bright future, full of hope for all womankind.

The Tricity-based NGO organised Women’s Day Celebration, a commemoration of Women who made history on 5th March, 2022 at Gian Jyoti Institute of Management and Technology, Phase 2, Mohali, at 11am.

Through well-planned and comprehensive projects, Kanya Girl Child Welfare Organization, Kapsons’ Social Responsibility Initiative, has been committed to stand and work for the girl child’s overall empowerment, be that in Education, Health & Nutrition or Safety, and will complete 18 successful years this Women’s Day.

The whole day was planned keeping Kanya’s mission in mind, to promote Women Empowerment through four women who embody strength and success. The Panel of Guest Speakers include:

Ms. Priya LakhanPal: Actress, Winner of Mrs. Ludhiana and Mrs. Punjab

Ms. Simranjeet Kaur Gill: Lawyer at Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh and Founder at Fight For Right Punjab: The Voice of Unheard Victims

Ms. Kirti Gill: Journalist, Thought Leader, Survivor

Ms. Mandeep Kaur Sandhu: Journalist

Intriguing questions were asked by the audience which were answered by the panel of guests. The event also included a Workshop focusing on Physical and Mental Health of Women, which was followed by the launch of Kanya’s Website and Donation Portal.

Through the event, the NGO hoped to spread the spirit of girl power and expand the team’s group of volunteers to get behind the vision of Kanya.
