Later in her keynote address, the Premier said that women need further empowerment to transform the world, especially in the financial sector.

Nabbanja challenged women leaders to support fellow women instead of pulling them down in uncalled-for intrigue and differences. She further appealed to world leaders to remove all discriminatory legal frameworks in the journey to empower women.
