Lightning Talk – Turning our Weaknesses into Strengths

“We live in the 21st century, yet misogyny and sexism is deeply embedded into the schemes of our society and our psyche.” Neelam Gill shares her story of loss, despair, and an abusive relationship that changed her view of the world. Out of fragility and darkness can arise strength and resilience. She encourages everyone, and in particular women who have experienced similar, to accept the past, regain one’s power and break free from the chains that other people put on us. A strong woman with a strong message.
