This event, an essential part of the global series initiated by the founder of the World Madam Foundation, Anni Huang, not only focuses on promoting and enhancing women’s status and influence in various fields of society but also highlights their central role in global development by recognizing women who have achieved excellence in different domains.

The forum’s topics included how the United Nations empowers women, enhancing women’s resilience, and balancing entrepreneurship with family life. The event attracted active participation from scholars, representatives of the World Madam committee, and social activists from around the world. Participants not only discussed the challenges and opportunities in women’s entrepreneurship but also shared successful strategies.

In her speech, Rita Botelho dos Santos, President of the Council of the Portuguese Communities (CCP) for Asia-Pacific, highly recognized the forum’s significance, believing it will greatly enhance economic and trade cooperation among the nine Portuguese-speaking countries. She called on women to strive for self-improvement, elevate their status in society, and support the global goal of achieving gender equality.

During the forum, Counselor of the Portuguese Communities, José Maria Pereira Coutinho, said that without the participation and support of his female colleagues, he would not have achieved his current success. He emphasized the importance of empowering women, noting their critical roles in family, workplace, and society.

Professor Zhang Guihong from Fudan University, a renowned United Nations expert and a distinguished professor at the United Nations University for Peace, shared his research findings in the field of gender equality at the forum. He expressed his expectations for high-end events like the EmpowerHER Forum to drive global policy changes, especially regarding increasing women’s participation in economic, social, and political decision-making. His views received widespread support and recognition from the attendees.

During the award ceremony, several outstanding women in technology, education, business, and arts from Macau were honored.

In a media interview, Anni Huang stated that the successful series of important events and reform measures held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on March 18, 2024, marked the comprehensive entry of the global series of activities organized by the World Madam Group into the 2.0 era. In the second half of the year, the group will host a series of sub-forums in Europe, Africa, and other regions. In December, the World Madam Group is expected to hold the global closing ceremony in New York, the United States, and will once again enter the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

Huang emphasized that the World Madam Group has successfully held four major events in Macau. The repeated success of this event not only demonstrates the group’s firm commitment to women’s empowerment and enabling but also extends sincere gratitude to the Macau committee members represented by Hao Mok Tin and Ngalai Leung, as well as all supporters and participants. It encourages all women to actively strive and jointly create a more equitable and prosperous world.

The guests attending the event also highly praised the successful hosting of the forum and the awards ceremony.
