Lahore, Pakistan: The Women’s Circle of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan hosted a vibrant contemporary invitation in honor of women journalists, bringing together senior and young reporters, journalists, and digital content creators from various national and private media organizations.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Humaira Tariq highlighted the event’s purpose as more than a formal program, describing it as an intellectual awakening movement aimed at fostering collective consciousness for justice, peace, and strengthening the family system in society. She emphasized that when women recognize the power of their character, society can emerge from darkness into a new era of hope and change.

Both speakers urged women to participate actively, emphasizing that their full engagement is key to achieving lasting social change.
