The Women’s Forum of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha in the UK will be celebrating its 10th annual International Women’s Day with an enlightening series of events aimed at inspiring and empowering women of all ages. The day will aim to help women:
1) REFLECT on our personal stories and achievements.
2) PROGRESS by learning a new skill through an interactive exhibition, informative workshops and TED-style talks by Seema Sharma (Dentist, Entrepreneur, Management Consultant and Philanthropist) and Lois Stonock (International Cultural and Creative Consultant)
3) SHINE by being inspired by a panel of esteemed women at the cutting-edge of their respective fields: Babita Sharma (Media), Sonal Sachdev-Patel (Publishing), Smita Oza (Law), Abha Thorat-Shah (Charity), Lakshmi Kaul (Industry) and Rupa Ganatra (Management).
Also on display throughout the day will be 10 silk scrolls hand-painted by volunteers of the Women’s Forum, with the support of Arts Council England, which impressively portray key values inspiring women of all faiths.
