It was a great honor to represent Pakistan on the IWPG Global Region 3 platform as the Representative of the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) for the Karachi Committee. In my speech on Women Empowerment and the Importance of Peace Education, I underscored the pivotal role Pakistani women play in driving sustainable development.
I emphasized key UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as Goal 5: Gender Equality—advocating for equal rights, opportunities, and an end to discrimination and violence against women. I also highlighted Goal 4: Quality Education, particularly the importance of promoting Peace Education to foster a culture of non-violence and understanding. By aligning these efforts with Goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, we aim to build a more just and peaceful society, where empowered women are at the forefront of change.
Through this platform, I was able to advocate for IWPG’s mission, reinforcing the belief that sustainable peace and progress are only achievable when women are empowered and have access to education and equal opportunities.
