Our collaborations with PPAF to introduce Ba-Ikhtiar and Pakistan’s first women job fair in collaboration with Pink Collar are testaments to our commitment, which will continue to manifest in more impactful interventions in the future.”

Pink Collar also unveiled Pakistan’s first exclusive online job portal for women, providing access to a wide range of career opportunities. The portal aims to break down barriers and create a more inclusive job market where women can thrive.
