Saluting Pakistan’s extraordinary women: Bhutto to Johar.
On International Women’s Day, let’s honor Pakistani women for their vital role in the nation’s progress. From politics to law, sports to arts, they’ve shattered barriers.
Fatima Jinnah, Benazir Bhutto, and Maryam Nawaz are political trailblazers. In law, Justice Ayesha Malik and Asma Jahangir stand out. Lt Gen Nigar Johar Khan and ASP Syeda Shehrbano Naqvi showcase women’s contributions to security.
Ayesha Farooq and Helena Saeed break stereotypes in the military and police. Zubeida Mustafa, Laraib Atta, and Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy excel in journalism and arts. Arooj Aftab and mountaineers Samina Baig and Naila Kiani make Pakistan proud internationally. These women defy gender norms and inspire generations.
