This was one amongst the many misperceptions that was adressed during the round table conference. Women were reminded that the international women’s day which we commemorate every year on the 8th of March is meant to celebrate the efforts made by our mytires to give equal rights and opportunities to women and girls just like the men. They also precise that the rights we are talking about range from education, autonomisation, equality in opportunities and many more.
