The forum will tackle the uniqueness, strength, courage and nobility of womanhood and how these traits contributed in improving lives and the society as a whole. The event will be attended by CCP employees and officials, some students as well as eminent artists and arts & culture specialists. The event will be complemented with special performances by renowned women artists.
A digital-photo contest , which is opened for CCP employees and artists of CCP resident companies, will also be held as part of the celebration.

All official entries will be exhibited at the hallway of the CCP Upper basement from March 30 to April 30, 2012.
