Discussions about building a more inclusive society began with a brief film about gender equality and women’s empowerment. Senior Women’s National players, such as Yeshi Bidha, Sangita Mongar, and Suk Maya, discussed their individual experiences, the challenges they faced, and the perseverance that enabled them to succeed.
