The event attracted a diverse array of personalities - from renowned Rwandan singers Teta Diane and Jules Sentore, Swedish singer Caroline Af Ugglas, to influential business people from the Rwandan business community like the CEO of the Rwandan Stock Exchange Mr. Pierre Celestin Rwabukumba, executives of Rwandas largest bank, The Bank of Kigali, and business leaders from the Swedish community - each bringing their unique voice and perspective to the forefront. The atmosphere was further electrified by the showcase of the Rwandan cultural dance.

Panelists and erudite professors from different works gave powerful speeches, inspiring stories, and performances that captivated the audience. It wasn't merely about the glitz and glamor; at its core, the celebration was deeply rooted in solidarity with women worldwide.

As guests mingled under the soft glow of ambient lighting, there was a palpable sense of unity and hope for a future where such celebrations would mark not just progress but achievement in true gender parity.
