” The women participated actively and shared deeply on their personal experiences of discrimination and violence against women. They were challenged to be united in the fight against discrimination and violence against women and also to intensify their prayers because it would not be easy. They were charged to begin the fight from home, in the the trianing they give to their male and female children as well as to report any incidence of discrimination or violence against women.

They ended with the slogan “if you see something, say something”.
