[Pak-Media] 2nd women journalists convention at KPC

 

Dear Friends With a booming electronic media, women journalists, no doubt, are enjoying ever-increasing opportunities in this field, but at the same time, they have been reeling from various social and cultural issues, which are creating obstacles in discharge of their responsibilities.   To discuss this all, the Karachi Union of Journalists (KUJ) is holding the 2nd women journalism convention  at the Karachi Press Club (KPC) on October 14, 2011 in collaboration with the KPC. .   Last year, some 150 women journalists had attended the conference, including senior journalists from print and electronic media. This year, we are expecting over 250 women journalists from Karachi, and rest parts of the country to attend the conference.   We look forward to receiving you at the entrance of Karachi Press Club on October 14.     Yours truly Aamir Latif (President) Naeem Tahir (Secretary) KUJ-D

Margalla college Islamabad with Taliban teachers is without education for over a month

 

-- Margalla college Islamabad with Taliban
teachers is without education for over a month

-- Parents pray Chief Justice Pakistan to take suo motu
of teacher's "stay away from classes call on Principal's abetting "

Islamabad-- The teachers of Margalla College F-7-4 have not as yet
started teaching to all students of the college after Eid
holidays.They attend the college everyday and mark their presence to
take the salary but do not go to classes. They keep sitting in the
staff room but do not work and get salary for not working.No class is
being held.
The parents have prayed the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice
Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry to take suo motu notice of this ugly
affairs of the non-teaching for over a month in Margalla College,
Islamabad and the conspiracies against education and the callousness
of the Principal and all other teachers
The situation has taken this sorrowful turn at the hands of the
teachers on the abatement of the principal of the college.The teachers
claim that they are on strike to demand raise in their salaries.It is
astonishing that the strike is limited to sitting in the staff room,
not teaching the poor students who come everyday in thousands and in
the after noon go without a class being held.The teachers enjoy costly
food bought from different hotels, and drinking tea.
The problem is that after the college was made a model college the
Principal wants to be in next grade, and so do the teachers.The better
way was to teach the students and not waste their future and place
demands before relevant authorities.This is a game being written,
guided and staged by the stiff-necked, proud and non-cooperative
Principal.She is just keeping provoking the teachers and as a result
of her dirty tricks the year of students is being wasted.
If the result of the college is checked it will be among the lowest of
the Islamabad colleges. Yet the principal having outside political
backing from some ruling political figures, as she claims to be a
supporter of PPP (in Musharraf era she claimed she was the most loyal
person to Musharraf) has tarnished the reputation of Federal
Government among thousands of students their parents and their
relatives or neighbours.
Upon these awful, ugly and condemnable dirty tricks of the Principal
and teachers the parents have voiced a strong protest and reaction. In
fact the parents are arranging a protest rally outside the Parliament
House to point out what is going wrong under the own nose of Prime
Minister Yusaf Raza Gilani and tell the opposition that our future
generation is at stake not only in FATA at the hands of Taliban but in
Islamabad at the hands of Principal and her team of Taliban teachers.
The parents plan to continue their movement against the teachers and
the Principal and demand their transfer to Balochistan Federal Board
colleges as a punishment.
The parents have made an interim body to organise rallies till the
Principal, the principal conspirator and all the teachers from
Margalla College are transferred to Balochistan.
These culprits are destroying one precious year of the students.

[Pak-Media] Press Release-Current situation has increased risks for women entrepreneurs

 

 

Improved and Repeated

 

Current situation has increased risks for women entrepreneurs

 

Dated: Oct 08

 

Islamabad:

Putting housewives and women entrepreneurs to risks amounts to discrimination therefore trend of preferring risk cover to the male members of the society should be changed, a business leader said Saturday.

 

Insurance industry in Pakistan is excessively focused on males while women are ignored which is unreasonable, said Mian Shahid, Chairman of Pakistan Society Watch.

 

 Talking to Samina Fazil, founder President Islamabad Women Chamber of Commerce and other women entrepreneurs, he said industry should introduce tailor-made solutions for women as prevailing situation has increased risks.

 

Women should be enabled to take proper care families and businesses in times of crisis; they deserve certainty, he added.

 

Mian Shahid, who is also CEO Saudi Pak Insurance Co. said that women face a series of problems as soon as they decide jump into entrepreneurship.

 

A male may not require approval of family to start a business while women have to seek many approvals which put a break to their growth, he observed.

 

We should stop seeing entrepreneurship as a right given only to the male members of society, he said.

 

At the occasion, Samina Fazil said that  domestic as well as other burdens take away lots of their time and energy, which make it difficult for a women to run an enterprise successfully.

 

Women are not treated equal to men, system keeps them rear seat, she added.

 

Many women remain in dark about the development of new technology, new methods of production, marketing etc which can help them to flourish.

 

Women also suffer when it comes to raising and meeting the financial needs. Bankers, creditors and financial institutes ignore assistance to women on different unfounded grounds, said Samina.

 

Intermediaries continue to exploit businesswomen in the guise of helping which result in less sales and lesser profit, she said.
