Women’s Day Celebration at AVAG

Auroville Village Action Group held its annual International Women’s Day celebration on March 11th this year. Along with Aurovilians and invited guests and judges of various competitions, 350 representatives of the Udhayam Women’s Federation came for the event. Different activities, including singing, speech, drawing and kolam competitions, allowed the participants to showcase their leadership and creative skills. The highlight of the day was the debate competition where sixteen women passionately discussed the question “Which is more challenging – bringing up girls or boys?” The celebration ended with lunch for all, adding to the sense of solidarity and sisterhood that was felt during the whole day.
