Stephanie Siriwardhana Instagram – I’m so deeply humbled and grateful to receive this Award from the United Nations Association of Sri Lanka, presented by the Honourable Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya, this International Women’s Day 2025❤️
I’ve been reflecting on what this truly means — and more than anything, it’s a reminder of how important it is to believe in ourselves, to love ourselves fully, and to spread that love by standing for others with dignity and purpose.
Because real empowerment isn’t just about personal success — it’s about creating spaces where we support one another to rise together. Where we celebrate each other’s light without ever dimming our own. Where we choose to lift, to protect, and to remind every woman that she is seen, she is valued, and she is worthy.
It felt truly amazing to receive this award beside my best friend, my sister, and absolute powerhouse @umariaofficial and 13 other incredible women who have dedicated their time, their hearts, and their voices to shaping this society. It was truly humbling and was one of those moments that really grounds you. It reminds you why we do what we do.
Women supporting women — with love, with dignity, and with purpose — that is where true transformation begins.
And yet, there is still so much more work to do. To build a world — and a society — where every woman feels safe in her own skin, where every girl grows up knowing she is more than enough, and where our communities stand strong as safe spaces, free from all forms of abuse, fear, or discrimination.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to every woman who stands for more. I see you. I celebrate you. And together, we rise. 🙏🏽🥰❤️💫
