It was an event that evoked an overwhelming response from not only community leaders, activists, and women's organisations but also social thinkers, as the Consulate General of India in Toronto joined hands with the Elspeth Heyworth Centre for Women (EHCW) to honour women’s achievements to mark the International Women’s Day celebrations. Spotlighting the critical support systems for Indian women in need, the deliberations were mainly about women's empowerment and gender equity.
