“Since the 1990s, women have come far ahead in Pakistan, but it is still not enough”, said TV and theatre actress, and child protection activist Nadia Jamil, at a talk held at the Lahore Fort on ‘The Resilience and Timeless Impact of Women.’ Addressing a group of women, she underscored the need for women to love, respect and celebrate themselves. The session was organised by Aga Khan Cultural Service – Pakistan (AKCS-P) to mark Women’s Day. Representatives of the Walled City Lahore Authority were also in attendance. CEO AKCS-P Tausif Khawaja noted the critical role of women in the conservation of heritage sites, referring to their commitment as inspiring. “They are the jewels in the crown of our work,” he expressed effusively. Nadia Jamil harkened back to celebrated historical figures who, as women, demonstrated considerable grit and strength. In that context, she shared examples of Hazrat Khadija a skilled entrepreneur and Hazrat Ayesha, who established the first Muslim school for women at her house.
