We asked for perspectives from the youth on women empowerment during our seminar @gcuniversitylhr on pathways of employment for women and their health related needs. Students of GCU @SyedaNaima13 and a student @artool_b of UCL London @ucl gave their opinions.

Bravo! Thanks.

"Empowering women for a stronger workforce! 🌟

We hosted a thought-provoking symposium at @gcuniversitylhr, in partnership with @sunderlanduni
focusing on gender-inclusive policies and strategies for enhancing women's participation in employment. A special focus was placed on gender-related healthcare policies and introducing flexibilities to facilitate better women in the workforce.

I am grateful to Dr Shajara Ul Durar and all speakers and contributors who shared valuable insights on women's health, leadership, and empowerment.

Let's continue our journey towards a more inclusive and supportive workplace. #WomenEmpowerment #GenderEquality #GCUWomen"

~~ The Great Debate 2023 ~~

Universities are the centre for debates that change the world. Academia plays the most crucial role in generating discourse on socio-political issues and in empowering youth as informed, democratic citizens.

At GC University, @gcuniversitylhr we take this responsibility very seriously. As a prestigious university and the oldest higher education institution in Pakistan, we aim to foster a culture of intellectual exchange, harmony and tolerance by initiating "The Great Debate 2023".

#TheGreatDebate2023 aims to become a vehicle of democratisation, social awareness, and meaningful political change for the country.

In the first instance, #TheGreatDebate2023 will consist of four chapters, allowing for diverse perspectives and practical solutions to be explored. The first four chapters will cover four policy arenas.

CHAPTER 1
Pakistan's National Economy: Identifying the Challenges and Solutions

CHAPTER 2
Pakistan's Foreign Policy in the context of evolving Geopolitical Landscape, mid-July 2023

CHAPTER 3
Law and Justice Policy: Parliament and Judiciary's role in Pakistan's Macro-Political Paradigm, end-July 2023
