They were recognised for doing exceptional work in the fields of gender equality, women's health, climate action, and the promotion of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The event was attended by representatives from corporations, civil society organisations and educational institutions, along with social influencers and community leaders.
Announcing the Women Run, Acting High Commissioner Strohan remarked, ‘‘She Leads Here, She Leads Now’ demonstrates the power and importance of young women and girls and how their meaningful participation can lead to more peaceful and prosperous communities. Canada is delighted to recognise the young women change-makers and their leadership to promote human rights. Today, I encourage you all to continue standing up for girls and women, now and into the future.”
The Run is scheduled for March 5, 2023 - in the lead up to International Women’s Day - in Sector 62, Gurugram. The event will promote gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, and the building of a more peaceful, inclusive, and prosperous global community.
