“In line with Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mian Shehbaz Sharif’s, vision for dismantling cultural and economic barriers restricting women’s independence, the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) is introducing ‘She Fixes, (#theekkardungi),’ a groundbreaking Skill Advancement Initiative for Women across Pakistan.

“Theekkardungi” aims to empower 500 women by offering accessible vocational training in fields traditionally dominated by men. Gulmina Bilal Ahmad, Chairperson of NAVTTC, asserts, “This initiative is a catalyst for gender equality, fostering self-reliance and independence. It begins with fixing household appliances, transcending into empowering women to address broader societal issues.”

Aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5, 8, and 10, “TheekKarDungi” directly contributes to gender equality, economic growth, and reducing inequalities among women.

This inclusive, women-only program is designed to equip Pakistani women with fundamental vocational skills, particularly in plumbing and electrical work.

The pilot program is open to women from all social segments, be it housewives or students, providing an opportunity for personal and professional growth. It enables participants to independently address day-to-day household issues, reducing reliance on male family members.
