CONNECTING WOMEN

In an era marked by progress and inclusivity, the power of networking has emerged as a dynamic force propelling women forward in various spheres of life. Women networking is no longer just a social interaction; it’s a strategic and empowering practice that fosters professional growth, personal development, and collective advancement. As women from diverse backgrounds and professions come together to share experiences, knowledge, and opportunities, they are forging meaningful connections that transcend boundaries and shatter glass ceilings. Ladeisfund is one such organisation that is connecting women around the globe.

Recently in London, High Commissioner of Pakistan to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Mr Moazzam Ahmad Khan, invited a Ladiesfund delegation of dynamic women leaders across fields to the High Commission of Pakistan in the United Kingdom for a roundtable discussion and dialogue, who appreciated the event.

“We were honoured to spotlight incredible Pakistani-British women from some of the highest places and positions in the world, and collectively to the Pakistan High Commission and High Commission in the UK,” said Ms Dawood, who headed the delegation and chaired the event.

“The roundtable talk showed resilience, experience, knowledge, and forward thinking. I haven’t seen such a quality and organised women programme in a long time coming from Pakistan,” expressed Captain Durdana Ansari OBE (Motivational Speaker and Trainer), whose face is currently on buses across London as an iconic inspiration to all.

“This is an amazing way of creating communities across the globe and the valuable work they are doing in raising awareness for the orphans and women of Pakistan. It is a testament to their commitment for doing the right thing,” told Bano Sheikh, first female Muslim partner (Financial Services) at KPMG, UK.

Other delegates included Chef Zahra Khan (Founder and CEO, Feya), Alia Din (Hijabi model) Sadaf Khan (Former Ms World UK), Anoushka Rafi Kachelo (Lawyer who has climbed the North Pole), Raishma Islam (Fashion Designer), Amina Art Ansari (Visual Artist), Kinza Athar (cancer survivor and founder of a healthy food and chocolate brand RUH), Dr Hina Naila Ansari (Managing Partner, Latitude Ventures), Dr Sohnia Tariq (ICB Management), Dr Humma Shahid (glaucoma surgeon and specialist), Ayesha Ansari (Director, Head of Data and Digital Products, Sage UK Ltd.), Naheed Niazi (Financial Intermediary, Windsor Financial Services), among others.

The evening ended on a positive note with all members of the delegation receiving a fresh box of Pakistani mangoes from the High Commissioner, as an appreciation.
