The G100 global meetings took place in London with a beautiful international Women’s day event hosted by Lord Rami Ranger for the global G100 group at the House of Lords.
With 100 participants from across the G100 network, including Global Chairs, Denim Club Partners and Country Chairs from 20 sectors such as Anti-Domestic Abuse led by Krishna Pujara, CEO Enfield Saheli.
Along with leaders and influencers from the UK, the gala gathering at the historic Cholmondeley Room and Terrace, the leaders launched the ambitious 100 commitments for a gender equal future and a better world for all. These will be given on the G100 website as guiding principles.
Aesthetics, history, power and possibility converged in this august house of the UK Parliament, and as one gentleman from the UK remarked, the first time ever that he had ever seen, the House of Lords hosting a female majority event – never before had he seen that. Just the mention of that great symbolic leap forward sent the gathering in spontaneous applause. It uplifted our energies to feel the power of possibility and believe that every step counts in this journey, which with every passing milestone feels more and more like a pilgrimage, where we have all undertaken to commit ourselves wholly and soulfully to the change we seek.
A most inspiring backdrop to the blossoming co-creation ignited inspiration in the room and a beautifully curated three hour program brought us in contact with the contributions of the community as part of the G100 Awards presented to women and men who have been consistently paving the way for us all to have more grace and goodness in our environment and lives.
The book of Late Harbans Kaur (Mother of Broken India) was also introduced by Krishna Pujara. She shared Late Mrs. Kaur’s life story of grit, courage and resilience in the testing times of India’s partition and how despite the odds she touched so many lives with her leadership and helpfulness. She requested everyone to read the book which was given to everyone in a goody bag and requested Dr. Harbeen to present the posthumous Award of Legendary Women of the Decade in Service to Society to Lady Renu Ranger, wife of Lord Ranger, in honor of his mother, Late Harbans Kaur.
Sisterhood bands were exchanged to strengthen the She-for-She bonds, so integral as an organising principle to our richly diverse global group. It has been our constant endeavour over the past decade across all our platforms to ensure that women are women’s best friends and we can together address and resolve our shared struggles with collective efforts.
The experience was beautifully ended by the generous invitation by convenor Krishna Pujara welcoming us all in the inner sanctum of her home. The circle of trust and togetherness broadened as we all, from different countries, bonded and built our global cohesiveness and consciousness in the metaphorical breaking of the bread together.
The following day was spent mostly with independent meetings amongst the delegation members whilst exploring iconic sites and sights, riding the black cabs together.
