“On the occasion of Women’s Day, I am happy to say that since our independence 70 years ago – Women in Pakistan, have come a long way….
Today, women in Pakistan are making strides in all walks of life be it representation in the Parliament, promising entrepreneurs, civil servants, armed forces, academia, sports, films, media, to name few…
There is no better way for women to celebrate joyous occasions, than to get together and enjoy fashion, jewellery, mingle and chit chat over the Pakistani high tea, to follow the fashion show.”
