Islamabad, Oct 14: Driving schools established in Lahore to empower men, women
Important steps have been taken by Chief Minister Punjab to provide autonomous, respectable, and empowering work options for women. In strategic areas, such as Greater Iqbal Park, Kahna Misaq Center, Township, and the Police Khidmat Center in Bahria Town, a number of driving schools have been established.
Other driving schools have also been established at Barkat Market, Defense Khidmat Markaz, Manawan Traffic Lines, and Liberty Khidmat Markaz. Moreover, two schools are specialized for women: the Women on Wheels School on LOS Ferozepur Road and the Abshar Driving School on Jail Road.
Amara Athar, the Chief Traffic Officer in Lahore, emphasized that these driving schools are exclusively for women and are managed by women. The course will include instruction in electrical and mechanical abilities in addition to driving lessons for women. In an effort to empower women via mobility, the “Ride for Change” initiative also provides scooter instruction at a number of universities and colleges.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Beenish Fatima has introduced the “Women on Wheels” initiative in Rawalpindi, which offers scooter and motorbike riding instruction with the goal of empowering women.
Women from the Girls Guide House are invited to join in the initiative, which is in line with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s agenda for women’s empowerment.
Training sessions will be held at the institute.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was part of the launch event, and the project is anticipated to initially benefit about 25 girls.
