Dr. Pachauri was honored with a prestigious Women’s Day award, a testament to her remarkable contributions. Adorning her shoulders was a striking red scarf, handcrafted by indigenous women of Ecuador—a symbol of heritage and empowerment. This distinguished annual event, held each March, is organized by the group under the esteemed patronage of H.E. Dra. Rosalia Arteaga. This year’s celebration took place at the renowned QCC Art Gallery at CUNY New York, where extraordinary women were recognized for their inspiring achievements.
