Through the initiative, the British Council wants to address women’s under-representation on leadership positions and create a more inclusive and diverse workplace.
The training sessions are being organized at the Commerce College in Karachi and in other cities.

In addition, the program will provide opportunities for participants to connect with a network of like-minded women and expand their professional and personal networks. The training will commence in February and continue till March.
All 10 facilitators and 48 participants chosen for the project were carefully elected via a rigorous selection process and spread across all Pakistan demographics.
