The workshop centered on Dr. Fouzia Saeed's remarkable work, Tapestry: Strands of Women's Struggle Woven Into Pakistan's History. This program underscored the significance of establishing clear goals, strategic planning, and fostering engagement from all sectors of society to address pressing social issues and injustices.

I am profoundly grateful for the invaluable guidance and mentorship provided by Dr. Fouzia Saeed, Dr. Kamran Ahmed—author of Between Saints and Sinners: Understanding Men—and Miss Maliha Husain. The seminar focused on Women's Leadership and Indigenous Strategies, featuring two distinguished Pashtun speakers.

Samar Minallah Khan, an anthropologist and filmmaker, shared her compelling journey of criminalizing Sawara in tribal Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through her ethnographic videos and unwavering dedication. Marium Bibi, Executive Director of KhwendoKor, recounted her inspiring transformation from a financially struggling mother to the founder of the 'House of Sisters' alliance, which empowers women and promotes sustainability.

The insights gained from these extraordinary individuals deepened my understanding of the course substance. The stories and discussions among participants, held in the serene environment of Mehergarh, prompted profound reflections on our own paths and reinforced our convictions.

I would also like to extend my sincere appreciation for the warm hospitality and support from the team members, which greatly enhanced this enriching experience.

This event has left a lasting impact on me and serves as a source of inspiration for our ongoing commitment to women's leadership and social justice.
