APP: Private sector and civil society organizations should strengthen business sustainability and women’s empowerment to ensure their active participation by creating job opportunities for them.

“As a way of strengthening the confidence, personal and professional skill building can provide opportunities to women” said Executive Director Lok Virsa Dr Fouzia Saeed here on Wednesday in a statement. 

She said that by learning new skills, women can build their self-confidence, increase their economic power, independence and make better informed decisions.

Dr. Fouzia said that women empowerment is very important for the progress of a country or a nation. “Frequent training and awareness programmes can be arranged to make women aware of their rights and to equip them for exercising just demands,” she said.

“It can enable women to mobilize more effectively, gain power to realize legal entitlements and access to economic and educational opportunities,” she remarked.
