KU seminar urges gender equality in society

KU

KARACHI: The role of educated mothers is very essential for the development of societies, a knowledgeable mother can easily educate and train her children in a good way, and the home environment they created can guarantee a well-educated and well-behaved family.

They maintain houses in order and have a major influence on a child, their love and care can mold them into a caring person or spoil their personality. We can witness that there is a lack of counseling, guidance, and training in the parental system in our society and its effects in front of us.

These views were expressed by the Director General of the Charter Inspection and Evaluation Committee of the Sindh Higher Education Commission, Dr Nauman Ahsan.

He was addressing the inaugural session of the seminar organized by the Center of Excellence for Women’s Studies of the University of Karachi in collaboration with the KU Faculty of Law, KU Students’ Advisor Office, KU Office of Research Innovation and Commercialization, and Sindh Higher Education Commission in connection with the International Women’s Day 2024.

The KU CEWS’s seminar titled “Dukhtaran-e-Pakistan: Accelerating Gender Equality, Economic Empowerment and Peace Building and Perception Management” was held at the Karachi University.

Dr Nauman Ahsan shared that as Pakistanis we all break each and every rule and regulation but as soon as we land on the soil of any other country we are willing to obey and follow their rules without any hesitation.

“We will not stand in queues, and do not mind if we drive the wrong way on the streets in our motherland, but we cannot do the same in any foreign country, as we know what kind of reaction and punishment we will get there.”

During his presidential address, the KU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi said that countries cannot be developed without promoting gender equality and empowering women.

He mentioned that the money spent on the education system is not an expense but an investment for our future, and added that without quality education we cannot achieve our goals.
