International Women's Day is a day to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women worldwide. In Pakistan, women have made significant contributions in various fields, despite facing many challenges. 

This year, on International Women's Day 2023, we pay tribute to Pakistani women who inspire us with their motivational works.

1. Malala Yousafzai:

She survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban in 2012 and has continued to advocate for girls' education since then.

2. Benazir Bhutto:

Benazir Bhutto was the first woman elected to lead a Muslim-majority country, serving as the Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1988 to 1990 and again from 1993 to 1996. She was a strong advocate for democracy and women's rights, and she worked to improve the lives of the poor and marginalized.

3. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy:

She became a wheelchair user after a car accident in 2007 but has since become an advocate for disability rights and women's empowerment.

5. Fehmida Mirza:

Fehmida Mirza is a Pakistani politician who became the first woman to be elected as the Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan in 2008. She has worked to promote gender equality and women's rights and has advocated for the inclusion of women in politics and decision-making processes.

These are just a few examples of Pakistani women who have made significant contributions to society and have inspired others with their motivational works. On International Women's Day 2023, let us pay tribute to these women and all the other women who have worked to promote gender equality and women's rights in Pakistan and around the world.

We should continue to support and empower women in all aspects of life, including education, employment, healthcare, and politics. We can also challenge gender bias and discrimination in our personal and professional lives and advocate for policies that promote gender equality.

Let us celebrate International Women's Day 2023 by honoring the achievements of women and working towards a more equal world for all.
