In line with the vision of Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif, Chairperson Child Protection and Welfare Bureau, & MPA Sarah Ahmad (T.I), delivered an impactful session on Women’s Empowerment at Kinnaird College for Women, highlighting the importance of safeguarding girls’ rights and ensuring their access to a safe, educated, and empowered future. She spoke alongside distinguished speakers, including Pernille Iron side, UNICEF Country Head, and Her Excellency Ina Lepel, Ambassador of Germany to Pakistan, emphasizing that for many girls in Pakistan, women’s empowerment is a lived reality—beginning with the fundamental right to remain a child. The discussion highlighted that while the Child Marriage Restraint Act 2026 is a significant milestone, its effective implementation and a shift in societal attitudes are essential for lasting change. Protecting a girl is protecting a generation—and empowering a girl is transforming a nation. She extended sincere appreciation to Prof. Dr. Iram Anjum (Principal, Kinnaird College for Women) and the Nadira Hassan Law Department for organizing this important session and bringing together distinguished voices.
