Breaking Glass Ceilings: Empowering Pakistani Women in the Tech Field! 

The Women Engineers Pakistan or WEP is a small non-profit group working to promote Science and Technology, along with its many applications within the female population of Pakistan.  According to The World Economic Forum Gender Gap Survey, out of 142 countries, Pakistan is ranked the SECOND LAST!! We at the WEP believe that this gap can be alleviated, and we work to make things happen!


How We Make Things Happen!

We have Campus Ambassadors in major engineering universities of the Pakistan, who facilitate our interaction with currently enrolled engineering students through conferences and seminars, where we hold talks about the practical world and prepare our girls to counter issues such as the glass-roof or workplace harassment. We also screen CVs and aim to provide graduate profiling for engineering firms in near future. Through social media we regularly post job opportunities from the engineering world. Just last month we held webinars for our Sindh & Punjab Chapters for guidance for study-abroad applications and scholarships.

As outreach, our Campus Ambassadors go to many schools and talk to girls about dismissing fear for maths and physics at secondary school level. We also provide career counselling for High-school students. Apart from this we recently ideated our STEM Mentoring Program, where mentors from North America and Pakistan help to guide our students towards STEM Fields. This program is currently undergoing strategic structuring and modulation. Details can be found here:

Our Motivation: Our Women

The basic reason I started with WEP was to engage the left out half percentage of the country. We have such talented women, but we as a nation do not provide proper avenues for them to practice their faculties. Diversity in engineering is one the major topics under discussion worldwide today. We hope to encourage more girls towards STEM, and hope to direct them toward engineering social entrepreneurship in order to break the shackles of their mind from the myths of job saturation.



You Can Help Us Grow Stronger!!


In order for WEP to continue doing its work we require full time non-profit organization status. The paperwork to register an International non-profit requires around $1500 and then processing fee is an estimated $500. We have already raised about $180. Please show your support and donate to the cause! Lets work together to close the gender gap!

Best regards,
Team WEP
