By In a significant step toward women empowerment and skill development, the Government of Sindh has launched a free scooter-riding training program for women in Karachi. The initiative is designed to improve mobility, independence, and self-confidence among women while promoting safe and responsible road usage.
The program is part of the provincial government’s broader efforts to create equal opportunities for women by equipping them with practical skills that support education, employment, and daily commuting.
