On the occasion, Ambassador for Girls Education Ms. Wajiha Qamer, as the Chief Guest addressed the participants and shared her insights on the importance of such structured projects and how they “positively impact society”. Ms. Qamer also lauded the PGGA for its efforts to work together with universities in its mission of empowering girls and women.

Expressing pride for the participants, Ms. Qamer highlighted their “commitment to work” adding: “Certain topics are considered taboos or not given much importance by families and academia, through Project Stay Safe girls learn and discuss real issues that a girl faces in her daily life, which are rather ignored”.

During the ceremony, she further expressed her hope the initiative could continue to “inspire more young people to get involved in community service and contribute to the betterment of society.”
