Women, since almost a century now, have been fighting for a balanced society. The definition of a balanced society might be different in varied contexts, but in terms of gender it simply means a society where its two pillars; Women and Men, play an equal, egalitarian role in taking the world towards a better future. A balanced society, therefore doesn’t mean creating a gender just society, it essentially means, Thinking Equal, Building smart and Innovating for change.  To realize this idea of a balanced society, Santulan framed its workshop in sync with the United Nations theme for this year’s International Women’s Day, “Balance for Better”.  Thinking Equal, in terms of professional opportunities for women, Building smart, and paving the future for an egalitarian society and Bringing Innovation and creativity to the ways and methods used for achieving women empowerment.

Santulan this year, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, celebrated the feeling of womanhood and organized events all across the country focusing on Challenges and Mantras concerned with Women Empowerment.
