Partnership with National Commission on the Status of Women (NCSW)

Gender equality in the digital realm is essential for economic and social development. Recognizing the critical need for digital inclusion of women, PTA strategically collaborated with National Commission on the Status of Women (NCSW) for bridging digital gender divide in Pakistan by adopting multiple-pronged strategies to enhance women's access to mobile technology and digital services, with an emphasis on creating inclusive policies and fostering a supportive ecosystem.

PTA established formal partnerships with Pakistan Alliance for Girls Education (PAGE) and The Inclusion Lab (TIL) by signing Non-Binding Cooperation Agreements for Digital Gender Inclusion across Pakistan, Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K), and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB). Both PAGE and Inclusion Lab have strong presence in the regions with limited access to education, low literacy rates and significant gender disparities.  These organizations bring specialized expertise in imparting education to out-of-–school girls and promoting advocacy and awareness on digital inclusion.
