The occasion served as a call to action to combat gender bias, stereotypes, and discrimination in order to build a more accepting and peaceful society where everyone has access to the same opportunities and rights.

International Women’s Day serves as a reminder of the progress we have made, the work that still needs to be done, and the significance of promoting women’s rights and equality every day, according to Dr. Riaz Anwar, advisor to the CM on Youth and Sports on this occasion.

District Youth Officer Sajid Afridi said that in addition to affecting moods and attention, art also promotes better social knowledge and self-understanding. Art can help develop empathy and allow viewers to take a new perspective and understand others better. These qualities are crucial pillars of peace, which begins when we understand the effects that our own actions have on others”.

Non-Governmental Organisation Grow Up and Directorate of Youth Affairs celebrate the achievements of women in all fields, from science to politics, education to business, and beyond.

Women are breaking barriers and making significant contributions to society, and their achievements should be celebrated and recognized. However, we must also acknowledge that gender inequality still exists, and women continue to face discrimination, harassment, and violence, he shared.

According to him, there are many impediments that prevent women from obtaining healthcare, education, and other fundamental rights, and they are underrepresented in leadership roles and earn less than men for the same work.
