Women have started taking over and accelerating in various fields and we see them succeeding and moving shoulder to shoulder in today's society. Women are getting stronger day by day and becoming the prosperous future of Pakistan and its pride.
We will focus on a few of the superwomen in Pakistan and discuss their accomplishments on behalf of the country!
Shazia Parveen: Pakistan’s First Ever Female Fire Fighter
This ambitious young lady has made the country proud by turning into the first ever fire-woman of Pakistan and most likely in Asia! Shazia Parveen, 25, is the main female firefighter of salvage unit 1122 in Vehari, close Multan. Battling the blazes with men twice her size and age, Parveen, the daughter of a former armed force official, lives in Karampur, with eight family members. A force of nature, Shazia diminishes all generalizations and pundits, the valiant young lady has been sparing lives since 2010.
The excursion to turning into a key female warrior wasn't a simple one. Shazia needed to experience tiresome instructional courses for several months with the Punjab Emergency Services. She prepared to swim, train, fight fire, and save lives with the assistance of ropes boasting a length of 300ft. Numerous male co-coaches left the debilitating process; however, Shazia, with sheer assurance, proceeded to turn into a single competitor who persuaded and chose to be an expert firefighter.
Shazia's sheer will and remarkable achievements have inspired other women from different walks of life, giving girls all over the country the motivation to succeed and accomplish great things. Especially in a society like ours, it is a beacon of hope
In 2016, an advancement brought Parveen to Lahore as a fire educator at the Punjab Emergency Services Academy RAWALPINDI: Ten years back, Shazia could have never envisioned a pursuit of employment would lead her to Vehari, a little city in southern Punjab, where trying out an instructional class at Rescue 1122 would see her become Pakistan's first female firefighter. For a long time, Parveen worked at the Vehari fire station, extinguishing fires in fields and manufacturing plants. A significant shift came in 2016 when she was elevated to a teacher level status and sent to Lahore to prepare future heroes of Pakistan.
Shazia has succeeded in breaking gender-stereotypes or said "roles" in society. Since, it is a typical observation that ladies just set fuel to fire (Aurtain aag lagati hain), Shazia has chaned this by putting them out.
Most oft it is perceived that women are terrified of working in close contact with men due to social conditioning in the country. Be that as it may, Shazia accepts these distinctions must be avoided and ladies can work with men. At first when individuals saw her participating in salvage work with men they would scoff at her. In any case, when they discovered how persevering she was they started regarding her as an equal.
Pakistan’s Youngest Graphologist Saman Aslam
Saman Aslam completed high school at a pretty young age and right after that she stepped out for work. She started working when she was 15 years old, simultaneously with her studies. She did various jobs but being a graphologist is the most challenging yet an amazing one according to Saman. Her journey from being an average commerce student to a Graphology Distinction holder is truly an incredible one.
Graphology is the study of handwriting. Handwriting is basically called "brain-writing", as our brain guides our hands. Handwriting is the mirror; it projects both the conscious and subconscious mind. The astonishing fact is that appearances can be deceptive but handwriting never lies. It reveals how the writer thinks, feels and behaves, and it does so directly and immediately, without their required presence. It shows the motivation behind actions and outlines the writer’s propensity to behave in ways that may not be expected. Therefore, Graphologists may be able to analyze understanding of a writer’s personality. Also, people confuse graphology with fortune telling, but a graphologist cannot foretell any future happenings, they just talk about the writer's current state of mind.
Saman Aslam never knew graphology existed until she was introduced by a team of Arabic graphologists at her workplace. They asked her & her colleagues to write 'Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem' (because it covers all the Arabic letters) and told few of her personality traits right away. She was hooked from that point and dutifully started following this field, the rest all is history now.
Firstly, being born and brought up in Saudi Arabia, it was impossible to find graphology in English. She would take Arabic workshops and come home with nearly no knowledge gained (language problem) but a satisfaction that at least she was following her passion.
Unfortunately, our country lacks certain awareness on this subject. Some kind souls would hear her out about this study, while the majority of people would criticize the idea of pursuing graphology as a career. They’d be like ‘Yeh gunnah hai, chor do aisi parhai ko’ or ‘Tum kahin writing par jadoo to nahi karti na’. Perhaps people usually relate graphology to fortune telling.
Having achieved certifications attested from Cambridge, London, Saman believes all you need is dedication and passion for this study because it gets super challenging at times. Furthermore, She is the only graphologist in Saudi Arabia, whose work is bilingual in both Arabic and English.
Initially, she plans to start from her official Instagram page – '@graphologist_saman'. She’ll be providing interesting knowledge about graphology and is open to welcoming a one-on-one ‘Handwriting Analysis’ before thinking about conducting workshops and short courses in the near future.
Similarly, we see other young women in Pakistan making monumental changes! From the first female foodpanda rider, Rubab Jubani to female careem drivers, the outlook for females taking over "conventionally" male-dominate careers is awe-inspiring as we see changes towards a better and safer world for our women. A most welcomed change after being oppressed simply for one's gender being deemed 'weak'.
