An organiser of the conference, Ms Stephanie Sabourin, explained that the association represented the interest of policewomen internationally with the view to ensuring their welfare and contribution to law and order.
She stated that the association aimed to see a world where police reflect the diversity of communities they serve and where human rights were protected at all times.
