“Mainstreaming Gender Equality”.

 I have changed my plans: I will now blog after a year's break. I have realized that it has affected my flow of writing and abstaining from writing is making me dull. 

Australia Awards – South Asia and Mongolia hosted 2024 Scholars Forum from 26-27 November 2024 in capital of Australia, Canberra. This forum brought together scholars from various universities from every nook and corner of Australia, and we networked with one another. There were students with astonishing achievements and few that I networked were social activists, writers, entrepreneurs and policy makers in their nations. Meeting these trailblazers in person not only broadened my horizon of understanding their approaches to change, but also inspired me to work harder.

I was very much touched, and my eyes were kind of teary, when I heard one of the speakers deliver her speech on domestic violence, being the first one to achieve higher education and above all, beating cancer. It was awe inspiring how a woman, from a challenged society achieved so much in short span of time.
