worker Khawaja Arshad Dar said that people should change
their mind-set about women in order to make our society equitable and
progressive.

Kashmiri said that Women Vocational Project has trained a large number of rural
women which are supporting their livelihoods by utilising their new knowledge
and skills.
Imran Gillani PFP
District Coordinator informed that more ‘Women Vocational centres’ (WVCs) would
be established in far-flung areas to provide equal opportunities of learning
and training to women.

for the development of women and other marginalized segments of society.
