On this occasion, LUMHS Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr Ikram Din Ujjan said that our religion has given a high position to women. If we look at our history, first of all, we see the personality of Hazrat Khadija Al-Kubra, and how she helped the Holy Prophet.
The role of women in the Pakistani movement cannot be forgotten. He said that we reflect the achievements of women and the ongoing journey towards gender equality.
Throughout history, women have played a fundamental role in shaping, innovating, and leading change in our societies, challenging expectations, and breaking down barriers.
However, despite progress, we have maintained gender gaps in various aspects of our lives, with women facing unequal opportunities, discrimination, and violence. It is imperative that we collectively address these challenges and work to create a more inclusive and just socie
ty.
As a university community, we have a responsibility to foster an environment that empowers women to succeed academically, professionally, and personally.
This includes not only ensuring equal access to education and opportunities but also fostering a culture of respect, diversity, and inclusion.
He said that let’s reaffirm our commitment to building a more just and equal world for all. Let’s continue our efforts to celebrate progress, and diversity and elevate the voices of women everywhere.
