Speaking about the event, Dr. Mary Ryan, said; “Empowerment of women is so important as low self-esteem, which unfortunately is so common in the female population of today, affects health and wellbeing and progress in the workplace. It also affects women socially and leads to incorrect choices of life partners, and the lack of skills to realise their true potential. The young women of today are the future mothers of society so if they lack self-esteem then it affects the men and women of the future as we can only pass high self-esteem to our children if we possess it ourselves. This conference is very necessary as for generations we have unconsciously empowered our sons but not our daughters and education in this area is so important to protect the physical, social and economic health of future generations.”
