Dr. Osusu emphasised the importance of recognising women’s contributions to society, saying, “We are putting the spotlight on women’s impact, creativity, beauty, strength, courage, and resilience, while inspiring more action to press harder and do more, thereby honoring the legacy of women who have paved the way for progress, as well as keeping the flame alive and clearing the path for those coming after.”
