750 Issues of Akhbar-e-Khawateen (1964-1986, Pakistan)
Since its launch in 1964, Akhbar-e-Khawateen (Newspaper for Women) has been a prominent Urdu feminist publication in Pakistan. By amplifying women's voices and advocating for their interests, it played a vital role in a time when such discourse was scarce. The publication featured interviews with accomplished women and challenged traditional gender norms, making a significant impact on reshaping gender equality narratives in Pakistan during its formative years.
