International Women Day Celebration
International Women Day Celebration

On 7th March 2023, a International Women's Day celebration was organized by the Women Development Cell of LJ Institute of Pharmacy. *All the students, faculties, non-teaching staff & cleaning staff enthusiastically participated* in the event. The *theme for this year's women's day is EMBRACE EQUITY with the proclaimed symbol of Self-hug*. The term *“equity” refers to fairness and justice and is distinguished from equality: Equality means providing the same to all, whereas equity means recognizing that we do not all start from the same place and must acknowledge and make adjustments to imbalances*. The event was kick-started with an infotainment skit that *highlighted the keen issues faced by women such as Pay- role inequality*. It also portrayed the two sides of the coin,  feminism & pseudo-feminism. The event was further glorified with the *speeches conveying a deep message about Body positivity and mental health*. The *dance & musical performance by the students encouraged the audience* to strive for their equity. *Students organized the games for faculties, non-teaching and cleaning staff.* The event was concluded with a strong message of Empowerment & Equity.
