Women are powerful agents of change, and the far-reaching benefits of diversity and gender parity in leadership and decision-making are increasingly recognised in all spheres. The women of today are unstoppable, and their power and influence is rising. Increasingly women demand a new society, a society that gives them choices - they can choose to do anything, be anything, and women are building the systems that enable them to do that.

Recently in Karachi, the 31st Ladiesfund Power Lunch was held. This dynamic networking session featured 40 incredible women leaders - including Sayeeda Leghari (Owner of Sukkur Beverages (Pvt) Ltd Pakistan), Simi Sadaf Kamal (Chairperson Hisaar Foundation, Pakistan), Moneeza Usman Butt (Partner, KPMG), Sana Pirzada (Founder of Virtual Legal Advisory VLA), Tameem Qazi (Head Of IT Meezan Bank) and Rukhsana Narejo (Board Member, Sindh Modaraba Ltd.).
