At the International Conference on Girls’ Education in Muslim Communities organised by the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training and the Muslim World League, the Chairperson NCRC Ayesha Raza Farooq had the honour of addressing the concluding session. 
The conference explored the barriers that hinder girls from accessing education, including poverty, child marriage and societal norms. Amid these challenges, uplifting stories of resilience were also shared, showcasing the unwavering determination of girls who overcame incredible odds to pursue their dreams and education.
She said “As a strong advocate for child rights, I believe that girls’ education is not just a moral imperative, but a fundamental child right. It is enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which recognizes the right of every child to education, regardless of their gender, race, or socio-economic background. I am also a firm believer that meaningful change is only possible by educating girls and engaging them in discussions that shape their future. The challenges that Pakistan faces today cannot be overcome alone. We need our girls and women to participate equally in every sphere of life.”
