FAISALABAD: Faisalabad Women Chamber Of Commerce & Industry (FWCCI) will play pivotal role in the main streaming of female entrepreneurs of Faisalabad, said President FWCCI Ms. Robina Amjad.
Addressing the first introductory meeting with FWCCI staff here, she said that half of our population is consistent of women but we have made them crippled due to our social taboos. She said that, most of our economic problems are directly linked with this factor as our half population is lying unutilized.
She was happy over the excellent performance of young female students and said that most of them have outshined boys in different examination. Despite of their excellent performance, they are not properly adjusted in public as well as private departments.
“They are facing the problem of gender inequity”, she said and added that similarly, in businesses the women are also discouraged. She said that women have to fight for their legitimate rights and in this connection; she will encourage young and highly qualified women to start their own businesses instead of running after jobs. “No Doubt, it is a challenging job but it will provide them respectable job in addition to giving them opportunity to provide jobs to other female fellows”. Ms. Robina Amjad announced that first meeting of the executive body of FWCCI will be convinced very soon to finalize a comprehensive road map for this nestling chamber.
In this meeting, we will also constitute mandatory Standing Committees in addition to prioritizing our objectives for the current year. However, we will try to energize this chamber which was already late. We will reactivate it so that it could facilitate the female entrepreneurs by providing them same services which are offered by other chambers.
She said that in first phase we will launch a comprehensive membership campaign, educating female entrepreneurs to come within the fold of FWCCI which will also arrange awareness sessions for them. She also asked the chamber staff to have contacts with maximum female entrepreneurs which are already successfully running their own businesses to get the membership of this chamber.
