I think the community is working really hard to highlight and enhance the areas related to women studies. Every time through multiple conferences in a year the community is strengthening its mark in the international women studies. I would recommend that alongside these comprehensive efforts the areas related to implication/implementation of laws and policies pertaining to women rights and equal legal representation in conformity with international commitments of various countries may also be added so that a tangible outcome of efforts may come in picture. I offer my endless support to the community. Best wishes

Because it serves as an eye opener to others that women play an important role in the community. I recommend WGC so it will serve as a platform for awareness that women are to Unleashed to be empowered.
