Message of the Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on International Women’s Day
Islamabad: March 07, 2025

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength and luminosity of women—the architects of our society, the pillars of our homes, and the changemakers of our future. From classrooms to boardrooms, fields to frontlines, resilient Pakistani women are redefining possibilities to shape a bright future for our nation. This year’s theme, “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment”, is a call to action, reminding us of our shared responsibility to create a society where women thrive and contribute meaningfully. Our religion, Islam, places great emphasis on the dignity and rights of women. Pakistan has made significant strides in advancing women’s rights through our government’s concerted efforts, including policy interventions, legal reforms, and institutional support. Our journey towards true gender equality is far from over. Empowering women is no longer an option; it is now an imperative for the prosperity and progress of Pakistan. When we invest in women’s education, health, and economic independence, we uplift not just individuals but generations. On this day, let us reaffirm our collective resolve to intensify our efforts to further advance respect for women’s rights and build a Pakistan where every woman’s potential is realized and every daughter’s dream is within her reach.
