To celebrate International Women’s Day, the Daughters of St Paul of Mumbai organized a symposium on the topic “Legal Rights of Women: Facts, Myths and Interreligious Perspectives.” The event was held on 10 March 2018 in the community’s multi-purpose hall. The program consisted of talks by five women lawyers from different religious backgrounds, who addressed various aspects of the topic and then answered questions from the audience. The symposium was attended by 150 men and women from all walks of life. An inaugural dance, a skit on the topic and the official honoring of a school run by women for their outstanding performance in the academic field were other highlights of the day, which ended with the singing the National Anthem and light refreshments.
