FLI Helps Women Get together on their International Day

“She Can Do It” was this year’s theme of International Women’s Day. FLI collaborated with SHAD Foundation, Rawalpindi and  Space Era School of Booni in Upper Chitral to celebrate International Women’s Day to let the women know their rights and responsibilities. In Rawalpindi, the event provided a platform for female students to showcase their skills and talents through various activities like skits, speeches, songs, presentations, and poetry, highlighting the critical role of women in society. It included a panel discussion also, featuring prominent female entrepreneurs and experts sharing their experiences and insights into women’s empowerment. The discussion was very informative and inspiring, and it provided an opportunity for the attendees to learn from the experiences of successful women. The event also featured food stalls featuring local Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral dishes, and women who run online shops selling dresses, gemstones, and handicrafts also participated and set up their stalls at the event.  The event was successful in promoting women’s empowerment and fostering an environment where women can confidently pursue their dreams and achieve their goals.

While in Booni, mothers of students of the Space Era school participated in the event and listened to the speeches delivered by their children in favor of women rights. They also highlighted the social responsibilities of the women. FLI has been collaborating with The SHAD Foundation and Space Era school for celebrating the International Women’s Day as we have observed these organizations have been contributing to empowering women and promoting youth development focusing on those women mostly coming from FLI’s target area.
