1. This International Women’s Day, I pledge…
To be a strong, independent individual, that needs no person to decide their future, career-wise or personally.
2. Across the organizational landscape, I want to see more female representation in…
Leadership roles. Pakistan has very limited organizations, where they are allowed as leaders, whether it is a team lead, director, or CEO. It would be appreciated to see more women as directors or CEOs.
3. The one stereotype about women that should be busted this year is…
That a woman needs a support system to secure her future. One of the biggest taboos in Pakistan.
“Service Sales Corporation is promoting gender equality and women empowerment by hiring more females and creating roles in the organization where they can easily show their leadership skills.”
4. My organization is promoting gender equality and women empowerment…
By hiring more females and creating roles in the organization where they can easily show their leadership skills.
5. I believe women can fight gender inequality at their workplaces…
By being more supportive to their fellow female employees. Creating a safe space for their junior female colleagues so it’s easier for them to work in the future.
6. As for men, they can help reduce gender bias at home and work…
By openly talking & understanding about the problems women face during their everyday lives. By changing their way of thinking as a closed society and being more open towards change.
7. My message to young aspiring women looking to start a career in 2022 is…
Do not be scared to speak up when you are facing problems from senior colleagues/male line managers.
