Conference on Minority Women demands addressing gender and faith-based inequality
March 9, 2021
LAHORE, Pakistan: The Centre of Social Justice (CSJ) organized a Conference on the “Status of Minority Women and their Rights and Challenges” in Lahore on Tuesday in connection with International Women’s Day 2021.
The themes discussed in the Conference included socio-economic and legal rights of minority women, right to education, right to health, protection against forced conversions, and gender-based violence (GBV).
The Conference was attended by eminent scholars, economists, and legal experts, and they were of the view that millions of Pakistani women from religious minority communities contribute daily in the Country’s economy with some earning prestige in different sectors including health, education, and politics; however, yet their numbers are very low.

The Philippines is tied with Thailand in having the highest share of women technology graduates across Southeast Asia. Representation is also increasing in business and more people are aware of the benefits of female empowerment. I am proud to see the work being done to help Filipino women access opportunities in the field of technology. In the spirit of International Women’s Day, we can certainly celebrate these achievements.
