Testimonial
"We need to make a business case out of social change. Now, it's time to mainstream inclusivity, ensuring every Pakistani—regardless of gender or identity—is included. This is not to say we shouldn't take affirmative action, but rather to broaden the mainstream framework"
"We view these women as a crucial economic force, and their contributions are essential for driving Pakistan towards economic prosperity. Therefore, it is vital to support and guide them through various means to ensure they become an integral part of this economic activity"
"It's crucial to have conversations where the right stakeholders come together to share their strategies, build networks, and collaborate, ensuring that progress isn't made in isolation but taken to the next level."
