Based on Celebrating Womanhood's growth and outreach, we wish to incorporate new strategies and approaches to strengthen the event and its possibilities of contributing to the development of Nepali women.

The 2009 edition of Celebrating Womanhood (CW) began with a curtain raiser in May.
An interaction and discussion program with past recipients of Celebrating Womanhood took place in the afternoon. The interaction program was planned to strengthen link and networking among the recipients and to also brainstorm for ideas and strategies to strengthen the network enabling it to go further. The guest list also comprised of relevant personalities, mission heads and dignitaries from different missions, supporters of the event, prospective partners and media personnel.
