Messages from Female Staff, Faculty 

Lahore, May 18, 2022 (PPI-OT):Farwa Batool (Senior Lecturer, School of Integrated Social Sciences)

Women in no way are inferior to anyone. The only thing we need to fight is the system. It should not be an us vs them debate. Nations rise by lifting each other. Be kind and supportive towards women as much as you can.

Dr. Sania Muneer (Assistant Professor, School of Integrated Social Sciences)

Female is the second sex not only in Pakistan but in all other countries too. Whether she is from the west or the eastern part of the globe, she has been harassed, raped, and become the victim of violence. As far as women’s empowerment is concerned, it’s only women who can stand for their own rights.

Zareen Hassan (Admin Officer, ORIC)

Women are never weak because God has made them strong in every sense. We do not need magic to transform our world. We already carry inside ourselves all of the power we need. We should stand for ourselves. It is only we who can protect our rights.

Dr. Arooj Fatima (Assistant Professor, UIPT)

Being a woman itself is a blessing and a superpower. A woman is the epitome of happiness, strength, and patience. She can do many things that a man can’t do. Let us pave our way to a better future, grow stronger and bring our positive energies to make the generation stronger and the nation brighter. Respect and facilitate every woman around you!

Aimon Saleem (Lecturer, Chemistry)

I am not asking women to have power over men. They should instead empower themselves for their good. There is nothing in this world we cannot achieve; all can be done by just helping an unknown and making a difference in her life.

Dr. Filza Shoukat (Assistant Professor, UIPT)

There is no limit to what we, as women, can achieve. We are the future, so let’s make ourselves strong and independent. Admire yourselves, empower your girls and rise and shine.

Dr. Faiza Sharif (Assistant Professor, UIPT)

A strong woman knows that she has enough strength for the journey, but a woman of strength knows that it is on the journey that she will become strong. Women are the future, so let us celebrate the strong, independent, and wonderful ladies in our life.

Azka Tahir (Semester 6, BS International Relations)

On this women’s day, I am hopeful that women all around Pakistan will not be ridiculed for standing up for their rights. I wish them to be seen as equal individuals who get equal rights and opportunities. Women constitute more than 50% of the population and deserve to be treated with the utmost respect.

Asma Tabasum (MPhil, Media Studies)

The importance of a women’s contribution cannot be cherished and appreciated in a single day. Cheers to a woman who never stopped trying one more time.

Sidra tul Muntaha (10th semester, Optometry Sciences)

Women are the key to sustainable development and quality of life in the family. The varieties of roles the women assume in the family are those of wife, leader, administrator, manager of family income and last but not the least important the mother. Moreover, it is the women who have sustained the growth of society and molded the future of nations. In the emerging complex social scenario, women have a vital role to play in different sectors. They can no longer be considered as mere harbingers of peace but are emerging as the source of power and symbol of progress.

Anoosha Naeem (Program Coordinator, the Innovation Hub)

To all the incredible women in the world, shine on, not just today but every single day. Happy Women’s Day.

Aribah Aslam wins UOL Startup Research Grant on Women Empowerment 

Lahore, May 18, 2022 (PPI-OT):Dr. Aribah Aslam (Assistant Professor, Department of Economics) as Principal Investigator (PI) along with Dr. Ghulam Ghouse (Assistant Professor, Department of Economics) as Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) have recently won a research grant of Three Lac Rupees, for a project entitled “Working within Confines: Empowering Women Home-Based Workers in Major Divisions of Punjab” from The University of Lahore (UOL). The research proposal was submitted under UOL Startup Research Grant Program-2022 (UOL-SRGP).

The project aims at understanding the factors which will help in increasing the earnings of female home-based workers (FHBW) in Punjab and would thereby serve to advise policymakers in designing economic empowerment initiatives for women as well as FHBWs. Furthermore, the study will also help policymakers in the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to poverty reduction, achievement of gender equality, empowerment, promotion of inclusive growth, productive employment, and decent work opportunities for all.

The research project is premised on the assumptions that female home-based workers are physically and mentally exploited, earn less, and are not being recognized as part of the formal economy. A segment of these workers also falls even below the international line of poverty of earning less than $2.5 per day.
