ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for IT & Telecom Shaza Fatima Khawaja said on Saturday that Pakistan was not just bridging the gender gap in technology but also redefining the future of women in digital economy.

Addressing a webinar, “HERstory: Google IWD 2025”, hosted by Google Pakistan to celebrate International Women’s Day, the minister said young women have consistently excelled on merit, ranking among the top achievers in education and emerging as leaders in technology.

The event featured a panel of three women who benefited from Google’s digital skilling initiatives and then launched programmes to pass on their skills to other women or use their platform to amplify female voices in the country.

Aligned with Women’s Day’s theme “Accelerate Action”, the webinar focused on empowering women in the digital economy through education, mentorship, and access to tech tools.
