In a recent release by a prominent British media organization, the global list of 100 influential women features two outstanding Pakistani figures—Afroz Nama and Neha Mankani. Their notable contributions and impact have garnered international recognition.
Afroz Nama’s Trailblazing Efforts in Shounter Valley
Afroz Nama, hailing from the picturesque Shounter Valley, has made a mark for herself by herding goats even on challenging terrains. Breaking away from traditional norms, Nama’s dedication to herding has not only sustained the livelihoods of families but has also paved the way for educational opportunities for children. She stands out as the first woman in the Shounter Valley to own a pair of yoked oxen, showcasing resilience and leadership.
Neha Mankani’s Humanitarian Mission in Flood-Affected Areas
Neha Mankani, another name on the prestigious list, exhibited exceptional courage and compassion during the devastating floods last year. Alongside her team, Mankani extended aid to over 15,000 families in the flood-affected regions, providing them with life-saving kits and essential supplies. Her dedication to alleviating the suffering of those in need has rightfully earned her a place among the world’s most influential women.
Global Recognition for Pakistani Women
The inclusion of Afroz Nama and Neha Mankani in the list highlights the global impact of Pakistani women in diverse fields. Alongside renowned figures like Michelle Obama and Amal Clooney, these women exemplify resilience, leadership, and a commitment to positive change. Their recognition on the international stage serves as an inspiration for women across Pakistan and beyond, emphasizing the significant role they play in shaping a better future.
