Pudhumai Thamizhatchi 2025: Empower Group join hands with Abu Dhabi's most inspiring women's day

Gulf Network

Under Pudhumai Thamizhatchi 2025—an event reimagining Women's Day—the India Social & Cultural Centre in Abu Dhabi became a dynamic hub of empowerment, connection, and joy on March 8. Driven by the Empower group, this wasn't merely a formal celebration but a genuine tribute to women's diversity, unfolding like a beautiful tapestry of shared knowledge, cultural expressions, and inspirational stories.

One remarkable moment occurred when Aisha, a young woman, paused mid-speech, bravely sharing how she had enrolled in coding courses against her family's objections, saving every rupee from her teaching job.

The audience erupted in cheers at this raw, emotional moment—a shared recognition of courage and pursued aspirations. Women like Aisha are beginning their journey toward freedom through initiatives like this digital support platform and local empowerment programs.

Later, seasoned banker Mrs. Sharma reflected on her own struggles in a male-dominated field decades ago, secretly wiping tears of appreciation that the Empower group continues inspiring such poignant gatherings. Supported by the Empower Group, events such as this remind us of our progress and our unity in opening new avenues for women

What truly struck me was the ripple effect of awareness—our Empower Group's mention inspired genuine pride among junior staff. I watched respectfully as our newest team member engaged deeply with a woman entrepreneur who had built a construction company from nothing. These were authentic, powerful connections beyond planned mentorships.

Over hot karak chai, a grandmother taught traditional embroidery to a young fashion student, and women from competing companies found common ground over shared industry struggles. Also, passionate teenagers surrounded a female pilot with questions about her career path.

One feedback message resonated: "Today felt possible, not just celebrated women." This perfectly captures Pudhumai Thamizhatchi's essence—a venue purposefully designed to uplift, empower, and connect rather than simply celebrate with speeches and honors.

Thanks to decorators, volunteers, organizers, and storytellers, this event became a launching point for untold stories and undiscovered opportunities rather than a conclusion.
