Pakistan is a land of opportunity for those with a knack to carve their future with their own bare hands. There is a popular local saying that “If you can do it in Pakistan you can do it anywhere in the world!” Pakistani women have been and continue to uphold and exhibit the resilience and talent this land nurtures and offers to the whole world. Today some of the leading economists, scientists, financial minds, IT gurus, military strategists, doctors, business innovators, sports figures and many others are Pakistanis. This is a video exhibit of a short infomentary by CNN on the women of Pakistan Air Force.
This is another clip from a TV show on Pakistani youth and their aspirations to serve their country.
Below are a sampling of pictures for Pakistani Women at Arms.

Thank you Javed. Please feel free to share ideas, topics, information that may be useful in further improving Pakistan’s image.
I recently made a film about female soldiers in combat. The female experience of war from a soldier’s perspective is noticeably absent in the media today.
While the US, Britain and others still deny women combat roles, the Canadian Forces permits women into all combat trades. Some of their stories and perspectives are presented in the film Sisters in Arms. I hope that more women, and particulary soldiers, will enter the discussion and share their stories. http://www.sistersinarm.ca
I dont know about Betty’s perspective, but I am a girl in favour of combat duty for women. Most girls in Pakistan look to join the army as a doctor, but I myself wish to join as a front line soldier and take part in gun battle. I would like to encourage other girls to share my ambition. Otherwise army job doesnt make any sense to me.
yeh, i appreciated you on your bravery. if everyone in our country has a thought like you, we wll never be defeated by any enemy.May Allah bless you and give you encourage to achieve your goal. (M.H.Trali )
yeah you are right. you r really the owner of great thoughts.I agree with you. Probably I also think in such a way. Front line soldier is infact a true “MUJAHID’. And the peak of my desires and center of my thoughts and prayer is ‘SHAHADAT”.Pray 4 me. may Allah give you success in your mission. Ameen.
i love Army very much n i m craze about Army.i want to b an army lady officer InshshAllah one day i will became an Army lady officer.
