S1 E4: How to overcome the gender gap in digital literacy in Pakistan w/ Amna Habiba

Femme Forward: Forwarding females to shape the future

Stark gender differentials hinder women from achieving their full potential. Digital literacy and promoting mental well-being at a young age can make all the difference.

In the fourth episode of Season 1, I have a conversation with Amna Habiba, co-founder of the Global Creative Hub about the power of EdTech and mental well-being initiatives to help young girls develop the 21-century skills needed to harness the power of tech.

Amna talks about how the Covid-19 pandemic has started her journey as a young founder of a social enterprise that aims to build capacity for every Pakistani girl and provide them in-demand skills of entrepreneurship, digital literacy, and personal development.
Amna Habiba is a 15-year-old Pakistani, founder of Global Creative Hub, international speaker, STEM enthusiast, and an advocate for girls' education and mental health. She received the Young Achiever Award at the age of 10 as the first Pakistani to participate in a digital exchange. During the lockdown, she completed several courses to upskill herself. To give back to her community, she launched Global Creative Hub, a social development initiative that aims to make every Pakistani girl capable of the future of work. Amna has spoken at global platforms including World Bank, WomenTech Network, and more, and advocates for #stemforgirls and #youthvoices. She believes in creating an equal world for all and has been working with various non-profit organizations to raise literacy awareness. Visit her website for more details.
