Beneficiaries from WILL Training I and II were invited to take part in the discussion moderated by Ms. Sofia Hussain. 

The article covered eye-opening facts about Girls’ Education in Pakistan. The participants through the use of critical thinking skills identified the reasons for low literacy and school enrollment rates, gender biases in curriculum and textbooks, and cultural norms affecting girls’ education.

The Critical Thinking Circle provided a sense of community where students were given the freedom to be honest without being judged.
