FICCI Ladies Organisation Interactive Session with Kavitha Kalvakuntla

Kavitha Kalvakuntla addressed Young FICCI Ladies Members on 'Women leading the future of India'

Hyderabad, July 10 Kavitha Kalvakuntla, Member of Parliament from Nizamabad addressed 150 Young FICCI Ladies Organization(YFLO) members on "Women leading the future of India" here in city today at Hotel Park Hayat, Banjara Hills.

Young FLO (YFLO) is a forum for the career women between 20 and 39.

Welcoming the gathering Samia Alam Khan, Chairperson of YFLO said Women of today are indeed very different from the generations before. They are living their truth, voicing their thoughts, nurturing an inner vitality, are ambitious and unafraid to dream and achieve. Though the society at large, both at home and office has not made the path of a woman's destiny easy. And yet, she manages without compromising on her larger objective of life and dreams.

Speaking further, Samia Alam added that the difficulties in the form of systemic challenges and cultural barriers are present in various hues and forms across all levels; gender stereotyping and biases, political inequality, disparities in pay packages, lack of women safety, a hideously patriarchal culture, all come in the way of a woman's journey to achieve and excel. We know and have seen that, a woman needs to work twice as hard to achieve the same degree of success as the opposite gender.

No country or state can ever become a self-assured, democratic and a free society if it cannot equip and empower their women to be fearless, liberated, free thinking and ambitious leaders because they are the ones who show every society its mirror. Yet we are optimistic that this is the century of the superwoman and that they will make a telling and impactful difference in times to come. I do believe, we, the women of this country have to be the agents of this change and the drivers of this movement... We have to become evangelists of our own destiny!!, said Sarnia

Over the last couple of decades, we. have taken some positive steps and made good in the right direction.... All the remarkable women in this room and our chief guest in particular are living proofs of this metamorphosis. Yet this is not enough!!! WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO!!, Samia reiterated
