Women Friendly Organization
Beaconhouse School System
A Women Friendly Organization
We all always talk about the injustice and inequality with the women in our country, although these are the realities and one should never deny but while talking about these cruelness of society and people we should never forget about the people and organizations who are working remarkably for the benefit of women in our country.
Beaconhouse School System is one of those. Mrs. Nasreen Kasuri, the chairperson of beaconhouse school system founded it in 1975 and now it is the largest school system of its kind in the world. As far as Mrs. Kasuri's significant role in developing the private education sector in Pakistan, she has also played an important role in women's empowerment in the country.

These qualified, trained and confident women are working as a silent support system for our socitey and country as well.

Global Entrepreneurship Week – A Road Map Of Entrepreneurs
Young Female Entrepreneurs, Future of Pakistan....
Brian Tracy said , " A society is prosperous only to the degree to which it rewards and encourages entrepreneurial activity because it is the entrepreneurs and their activities that are the critical determinant of the level of success, prosperity, growth and opportunity in any economy.
Unfortunately Pakistan has the lowest entrepreneurial activity in South Asia, and this about the whole, if we talk about women entrepreneurship in Pakistan the situation is worst. Women have strong economic rights in Islam and there is a tradition of women in business,women entrepreneurs face larger obstacles in accessing credit, training, networks and information, barriers in the legal and policy framework and as a result may not achieve. Women entrepreneurship is also considered very important for women empowerment. There are several reasons which stop young men and women of our country to start their own business and join the entrepreneurs ' community.
This week is being celebrated as Global Entrepreneurship Week around the globe to promote entrepreneurial activities in the region and to provide a platform to youngsters where they can share not only different ideas but their fears and their ambitions with each other. In Karachi GEW was organized by CIPE and celebrated at Marriott, where the lead speakers of the session were Hammad Siddiqui ( social media strategist and Deputy Country Director CIPE ) , Talha Ansari (Director at Xenith PR & event) and Kamal Faridi (CEO at 22 four).
A thoughtful session where different thoughts were shared by mainly the students from IBA, ZABIST, Indus Valley school of Art and different universities and institutions of Karachi. What I like most about the session is the presence and active participation of young female students or I must say future entrepreneurs in a large number. The all young females took an active part in the discussion and share their brilliant ideas with others they also discussed about the problems they faced and the problems they could be face i.e
- Law & enforcement situation
- Society hurdles
- lack of facilities
- legal problems
- financial issues
- family bounding.
In the same country where young females would not be allowed to get education I can see the young girls presenting their ideas about their future business, they are discussing about how they can solve the problems and clear their way to success. I left the room with a new hope of betterment of our society. Thank you CIPE for creating an opportunity for the young females in this male entrepreneurial world. :)

What are the forms of violence against women?
In Pakistan, in addition to the obvious brutalities to victimize
females such as the physical and psychological violence, gross injustice
like lack of independence to women in their personal choices and the
absence of fair opportunities in life exists as well. In most cases,
society and culture work hand in hand against the common Pakistani
woman. Below are some examples:
- This all happens in our society because we live in a society where men were and are still considered to be the bread-winner.
- Parents pampering the boy child and discriminating the girl child which gives a superiority complex to most typical males in our society.
- Illiteracy and extremism is a big cause.
- Forced marriages are still a form of torture prevalent throughout the country.
The United Nations estimates that nearly 70 per cent of women in the world suffer from some form of violence during their lifetime; in Pakistan perhaps the percentage is even higher. for more click here. The bottom line is violence prevails because we allow it to.
The time has come that we should take a stand and try to stop all kinds of violence against women in our own households and the women who work outside their homes.
