The choice of this year's theme, “Female leadership in education: the educational role of women in a changing society”, brought together a diverse audience including academics, diplomats and religious figures. This celebration was marked by powerful speeches in favor of the empowerment of Senegalese women, reports Sud Quotidien.
Adja Binta Ndiaye, president of REFLET, stressed that the organization strives to encourage the social development of women, promote female entrepreneurship and allow better access to financing.
