Indeed the all women exhibition ignited conversations, and challenged conventional notions of beauty and femininity.
Ms. Marga Peralta advised all boys to remember that women are also persons just like them during her opening remarks, especially all the mothers out there, which she emphasized in her introduction.

According to Women Empowerment and Human Rights advocate, Celebrity Writer and Artist, Ms. Mari Zhar, was well applauded as she gave her inspirational speech as she imparts that in a society where women are supposed to be broken and made to be oppressed, she strongly urges all women to band together and defend one another. She spoke passionately how her motherhood journey moved her to be an advocate for Women Empowerment, Equality and Equity: “Being an advocate allows me to set the bar for my children. For my son to learn to value and respect women all the more. And for my daughters to remember their rightful places in this world, and learn the importance of standing up, and fighting for what she strongly believes in.”
