FAISALABAD: Faisalabad Women Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FWCCI) is making serious endeavours to empower women for self employment by providing them demand-driven trainings in exclusive women-oriented environments at their Business Incubation Centre, said Rubina Amjad, President FWCCI.

She was talking to media with reference to the Labour Day. She expressed concern that Pakistan is blessed with 45 percent of its youth population with majority of females but dwindling back only due to not using this workforce optimally in economy. She was also critical that women are not provided equal opportunities as enjoyed by the male workers.
