Snigdha Misty, an influential figure and dedicated founder and chairperson of Glow Women, played a pivotal role in coordinating the highly anticipated Women Empowerment Summit 2024. This empowering event occurred on July 6, 2024, at the prestigious Mayfair Venue in Ilford, London. The summit provided a platform for women from diverse backgrounds to unite, share their experiences, and engage in discussions to foster empowerment and gender equality.
The event aims to shine a light on the invaluable contributions made by Bengali women at the intersection of our society. We will acknowledge and celebrate their diverse and significant impact across various spheres, such as culture, education, and public service.
It is disappointing that the organisers overlooked the significant contributions of our historical women, who were instrumental in paving the way for contemporary Bengali women in both the United Kingdom and Bangladesh.
Their efforts and achievements have significantly impacted women’s lives in these communities. We must empathise with their struggles and ensure the recognition and celebration of their contributions. Women entrepreneurs were an integral part of the event, running several stalls that showcased their products and services.
Even though they made substantial contributions, ensuring they receive the appropriate acknowledgement is essential. Following the evening’s formal proceedings, the event pivoted towards self-promotion, featuring lively musical performances and an impressive fashion showcase. We’re excited about possibly organising and attending more events like this.
