International Congress of Youth Voices, USA, 2019- Women Empowerment- Student Delegate- Nabila Abbas

" One of the greatest challenge faced by today's developed World is pointing towards the negligence of rural girls/women around the globe." 

I participated as a student delegate and good will ambassador of Pakistan in ; the International Congress of Youth Voices, USA 2019. My preferred and utmost highlighted cause was to throw light on  the importance rural girls/women around the globe. This is because I "myself" belong to a remote area. An area where there is no education, health improvements or standard of life. I'm the survival among more than hundreds of victims into my area. I believe I can be a voice for them. That is why I chose to speak about rural girls/women. 

My father taught me one of the greatest lesson through his struggles; being from shepherd to an educationist. Now, educating 500 children each year.  He believes in  ; die of hunger but not of illiteracy. Meanwhile, my mother has some magical inspiration as she believes in ; not to die with power rather die with some identity.  

I believe the rural girls/women plays a key role in striving for their food securities, shelter and more involved into reproduction. They are spending much more time in bearing the domestic labor. Yet, around the globe, they are facing persistence structural constraints that are preventing them to have their human rights. Pardon me! I've to disclose one of the greatest harsh reality ; rural girls/women in this world as compared to the urban girls/women have to face more domestic labor, food insecurities and cultural  blockades. Even, sometimes,  they have their lives on threat because of ; 

• Domestic labor  


• No basic or formal education 


• Lacking influence or power 


• Lacking participation into social/economical/political and civil developments

What I seek? I seek change for rural girls/women around the globe. I believe rural women can equally contribute into this world as if given equal opportunities and facilities. I believe in giving equal and basic education to each and every girls into remote areas. I believe in removing extreme poverty and hunger of the remote areas. 

" I believe women participation into world's developments can bring more healthier families, assured education for children, better health improvements, economy upraise and environmental sustainability. Development is unthinkable where half of the population is marginalized. Women comprises almost have of the population of every country, but a high majority of the population that is living under poverty. Hence, empowering women alone can alleviate more than half of the poverty in the world. Moreover, empowered women can empower their family and society."
