DUBAI: A special Suhoor event hosted by the Pakistan Business Council Dubai Women’s Wing brought together leading women professionals last week, in a night dedicated to empowerment, collaboration, and growth.
Under the leadership of Anum H. Baqai, the gathering highlighted the vital role of women in shaping the economic and social landscape.
Attendees from diverse industries engaged in insightful discussions, forged meaningful connections, and celebrated their collective achievements.

The event, organised in honour of International Women’s Day, was not just a social gathering but a strategic initiative to foster professional growth. Baqai underscored the importance of collaboration over competition, stating, “This is not an era of rivalry but an era of working together. The more we collaborate, the stronger and more sustainable our collective progress becomes.”
A key highlight of the evening was an engaging session on “Business Psychology” led by Dr. Farah Qadir. The session provided valuable tools for understanding leadership dynamics, decision-making, and workplace psychology. Attendees found practical takeaways to implement in their careers, sparking interactive discussions and an exchange of ideas.
