13 Feb, 2025: Our brave advocates successfully conducted Live What You Believe film festival, in collaboration with Empower Women Media and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University, Peshawar. This festival aimed to empower women students by educating them about women's empowerment and religious freedom.

During the event, we screened four Live What You Believe films, showcasing the importance of religious freedom for peace, security, women's empowerment, and business innovation. These screenings were followed by Q&A sessions, where students shared their thoughts on the films. We also screened winning documentaries from Pakistan.

Additionally, we hosted a panel discussion, inviting Subhash Chander to speak about empowering people from different faiths through entrepreneurship and bridging gaps between religious communities. Laiba Hussan, a young woman journalist, discussed the challenges she faced and how to overcome them, as well as the importance of inclusive storytelling. Roshana Waqas, a freelance journalist and editor, emphasized the significance of commitment to one's work.

I am grateful to my department teachers for their support in organizing this event and to all the students who participated and shared their experiences.

Just back from the Middle East where we hosted a historic women-led multi-faith forum to promote peace among the Abrahamic faiths. The forum offered a one day inter-faith certificate training for professionals and a one day excursion to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu-Dhabi.

We are grateful to the UAE for their courage to advance co-existence and inter-religious harmony to make their country a safe space for all peoples.
