NIEW, which functions under the purview of the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, was set up to promote empowerment of women and achieve gender equality.
The exhibition showcases major issues affecting women in NAM member countries and highlights efforts taken by the governments to empower women.
There will also be stage performances by NAM countries as well as international trade booths where unique products made by women, including handicraft, are on display.
