A seminar was organized at the University of Okara (UO) in connection with International Women Day 2024. With the theme “Inspire Inclusion”, the seminar was attended by a large number of female teachers and students.

Addressing to the participants, Dr Nasrin argued that women had pivotal role to play in every walk of life and without their inclusion in the social mainstream, there can be no development and prosperity.
Sajida highlighted the importance of higher education for women by saying, “In today’s globalized world, women must pursue higher education in science and technology. Many foreign universities are offering scholarships in post-graduate and doctorate programs. Pakistani women should avail these opportunities well.”
