Prominent leaders and authorities gathered at this important celebration, including the alderman of the Council of Miraflores, Jorge Mario Gurmendi, and the advisor of the Council of Miraflores and member of MUALIC Network, Ximena Cervantes Montoya. Likewise, the president of MUALIC Network, Angela Huamani Vasquez, and Ambassador for Peace and member of MUALIC Network Wilma Chira Coronado were present. Dr. Trevor Jones, president of UPF Peru and his wife, Mrs. Faith Jones participated virtually in the meeting.
During the meeting, outstanding guest panelists from MUALIC Network and UPF Peru shared their thoughts and reflections with the audience on the theme “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.” They were lawyer María del Carmen de la Vega Rázuri, sociologist Jorge Martínez Campoblanco, Dr. Milka Jacqueline Silva Mendoza, Mrs. Jeny Molina Ninanya, Dr. Alex Calero Rojas and Mrs. Magdalena Solorzano Castillo.
As part of the celebration, special recognition was given to 10 ladies from MUALIC Network and eight Ambassadors for Peace for their outstanding social service work in favor of those in greatest need.
